    Der Verfasser hat früher (Febr. 1873) den Satz gefunden: \[ \int_{-1}^1P_mP_nP_pdp =\frac1{s+\frac12} \frac{A(s-m)A(s-n)A(s-p)}{A(s)}, \] wo \[ s=\frac12(m+n+p) \quad \text{und}\quad A(m)=2^m\cdot \frac{\frac12\cdot \frac32\cdot m-\frac12}{1\cdot2\cdots m} \] \[ =2^m\cdot \frac{\varPi(m-\frac12)}{\varPi(m)\varPi(-\frac12)}. \] Der Satz wurde unabhängig auch 1874 von Herrn Ferrers entdeckt und ist in seinen ``Spherical harmonics'' London 1877 publicirt.
