I1= min (p, k—l), 12= max {p, k—1), we may readily see that the matrix|| atJ|| is positive and of rank llt* and that, provided that N—k^ p, the matrix||£ w|| is positive definite*. Hence the determinantal equation in< f> k,-<^ l= 0(4) has a root zero of multiplicity p—lx and lx real positive roots. The lx roots of (4) which are not zero play an important part in discriminant analysis f. Their distribution depends solely on the roots of (3)(see § 3, first paragraph) and their exact distribution is known% in the case where all the roots of (3) vanish. In this paper we obtain the limiting distribution for the most general case, as the sample sizes become infinite while their ratios remain constant.
