Let $c_{l,m, au }^{( n )} $ denote the number of ways a permutation $ au $ can be expressed as the product of an l-cycle and an m-cycle, all in the symmetric group on n symbols. In 1972, the first author gave a necessary and sufficient condition on l such that $c_{l,i, au }^{( n )} > 0$ for every even permutation $ au $. In 1978, G. Boccara gave a necessary and sufficient condition on $l,m,$ and $ au $ such that $c_{l,m, au }^{( n )} > 0$. More recently, D. W. Walkup developed a recursion for $c_{n,n, au }^{( n )} $. In this paper, we show how to recursively calculate the values of $c_{n,n - i, au }^{( n )} $. Theorem 1 states that $c_{n,n - 1, au }^{( n )} = 2 cdot ( n - 2 )$! for every odd $ au $. Theorem 2 exhibits $c_{n + 1,n - i,sigma}^{( n + 1 )} $ as a linear, combination (with easily obtained integral coefficients) of a specified set of $c_{n,n - i, au }^{( n )} $. Applications include a method to evaluate, by inverting an integral triangular matrix, all values in {$c_{n,n, au }^{( n...
