the assumption is commonly made that the roots of (3) are finite, distinct, and different from zero. This narrowly restrictive hypothesis characterizes what we call the regular case. But little attention has yet been devoted to the more general problem of the irregular cases, in which the roots fail to satisfy this hypothesis. Barnesf in 1905 studied most of the irregular cases of the equation of second order with coefficients linear in x, employing the Laplace transformation. In 1910 Horn| gave formal series solutions (divergent) and a theorem setting forth the existence of solutions whose asymptotic forms for large real positive values of x are given by the formal series, when the only departure from regularity is the vanishing of one root. In papers read (by title) before the Society in 1913 Batchelder§ found formal series solutions in all possible irregular cases for the equation of second
