A higher order asymptotic expansion is obtained for the distribution of the sample correlation coefficient r in a normal sample. The resulting formula guarantees accuracy to five decimal places and may be regarded as an expression which generates exact values of the probability integral of r even when the sample size is as small as 11. A Cornish-Fisher inverse expansion for percentiles of the distribution of r is also given. In a particular case of this result, an asymptotic expansion for the median of the distribution of r is obtained, related to a t-approximation due to Kraemer (1973).
