Extract
Although it is difficult to think of a rational reason for being more interested in, say, the square number 698896 than in the square 700569, or for that matter in 4 or 49, there is apparently some psychological reason, and the pursuit of square numbers of particular digital forms has a long history. The publication of the attractive collection of digital curiosities in Note No. 1823 has suggested to me that there may be some interest in further figures from discoveries I have made in analogous fields. References in a few cases indicate previous publication in scattered problem columns.
