1. The object of this paper is to evaluate an infinite integral, involving the product of H-functions, generalized hypergeometric functions and confluent hypergeometric functions by means of finite difference operators E. As the generalized hypergeometric function and H-function are of a very general nature, the integral, on specializing the parameters, leads to a generalization of many results some of which are known and others are believed to be new.
