    This method involves building up a column-convex polygon on the plane square lattice by considering the various possible ways in which another column can be added. The author calls this process the ``Temperley methodology'' (referring to the reviewers paper [Phys. Review, II. Ser. 103, 1-16 (1956; Zbl 0075.20502)]) and applies it to finding the generating function for various special types of column-convex polygons.
