The formulae

where γ = ½ (α + β + l), and

where γ = 1 + β, were given by Gauss (Ges. Werke, iii, pp. 225, 226). It is here proposed to find the corresponding expressions for the hypergeometric function when γ has general values (not zero or negative integral). These will be derived in section 2 by applying Lagrange's expansion

where

and that root of equation (4) in x is taken which is equal to λ when w = 0. Two generalisations of Whipple's Transformation will be obtained in section 3.
