Extract

1. In this paper I consider various properties of the area of a surface including the relationship between Hausdorff measure and the Lebesgue area. The results here obtained will enable me, in a subsequent paper, to investigate the tangential properties of parametric surfaces. For simplicity of exposition I confine my attention to surfaces homoeomorphic to a disk, but the general case follows easily from cyclic element theory.
