We shall show in this part the relation of generalised C.F.'s to ordinary C.F.'s, in the main confining our attention to Stieltjes type fractions. Moreover we shall bring out the part played by Parseval's theorem in our development of the subject, and a property of extremal solutions of the Stieltjes moment problem given by M. Riesz.
