Introduction. Certain aspects of the theory of subspaces of a Finsler space had been treated by the present author in earlier papers (7). These developments were based on an approach essentially different from the classical theory of Cartan (2) and subsequent writers, whose use of the element of support enables one to introduce the so-called “euclidean connection,” which effects the vanishing of the covariant derivative of the metric tensor.
