Various solutions of Mathieu's equation, or the equation of the elliptic cylinder functions

have recently been discussed in an elegant series of papers in these Proceedings. These papers have dealt with the periodic and quasi-periodic solutions, but the present paper merely considers determinants which give the infinite series of relations between a and q, so that the solutions are purely periodic, i.e. the solutions denoted by Professor Whittaker
