page note 239 * in these descriptions Pn(x) is the Legendre Polynomial of degree n, when n is an integer, and Qn(x) is the corresponding Legendre function of the second kind. We use the NYMTP notation Pn m(x), etc., for the associated functions, rather than Pnw(x), etc., as adopted in the index of Mathematical Tables, by A. Fletcher, J. C. P, Miller and L. Rosenhead, 1946.
page note 242 * Tables of Pn(x) for 1≤ x ≤11, prepared by L. J Comrie (see the Report of the Mathematical Tables Committee, B.A. Report for 1932, pp. 263-264), of Pn m(ix) and Qn m(ix) by J. N. Sarmousakis (see Math. Tables and other Aids to Computation, 1, 127, 1943) and several tables collected or compiled by H. T. Davis (see p. xlvi of the book under review) have, however, existed in manuscript for some years; the B.A. tables have now been published (see the review below).
