    \textit{C. Ching-An Cheng}, \textit{J. H. McKay}, \textit{J. Towber}, \textit{S. Sui-Sheng Wang} and \textit{D. L. Wright} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 349, 1769-1782 (1997; Zbl 0868.13019)] gave a combinatorial interpretation (counting labelled, rooted forests by inventory) to the extended Raney coefficients. Their enumeration results in a determinantal form. The present paper gives a more direct enumeration which explains the determinantal form in a natural way. The motivation of this research is the Jacobian conjecture of O. Keller.
