The Bessel polynomials, which arise as solution of the classical wave equation in spherical co-ordinates, are defined by Krall and Frink (3) by the equation

The purpose of this paper is to present some series of products of these polynomials when the two arguments are different as in the case of Legendre and Hermite polynomials. Such an explanation was given by Brafman (2), namely :

These series will be stated and proved in § 2.
