    The author proves identities for the Pfaffians \[ \text{Pf} \left( {y_i - y_j \over x_i + x_j} \right) \quad \text{and} \quad \text{Pf} \left( {y_i - y_j \over 1 + x_i x_j} \right) \] and then explores various special cases which give identities involving Pfaffians and Schur functions. One corollary is the explicit expansion of the plethysm \(p_2 \circ s_{k^n}\) into Schur functions.
