In [5] James defined an nth order Perron integral, the Pn- ntegral, and developed its properties. His proofs are often indirect, using properties of the CkP-integrals of Burkill, [3]. In this paper a simpler definition of the Pn-integral is given — the original and not completely equivalent definition, was probably chosen as James considered this integral as a special case of one defined in terms of certain symmetric derivatives, [5], when end points of the interval of definition had naturally to be avoided. We then give direct proofs of the basic results, give a characterization of Pn-primitives, and connect the integral with certain work of Denjoy, [4].
