1. Introduction. In a recent paper § the author has shown that if a function j (x) defined in a closed set A in n-space E satisfies certain conditions involving Taylor's formula (in finite form), ie if it is" of class em in A," then its definition can be extended over E so that it will have continuous partial derivatives through the mth order. In this paper we restrict ourselves to the one-dimensional case.(For the above theorem in this case, see § 4.) Letxo,..., x'" be distinct pointsofA. IfP (x)= co+...+ c", x'" is the polynomial of degree at most m such that P (Xi)= j (x,)(i= O,..., m), the mth difference quotient ofj (x) at these points iS~ o...... j=~"'j (x)= m! c",. The main object of this paper is to prove (see §§ 2 and 3 for definitions)
