Indices of the free logarithmetic correspond to bifurcating root-trees (cf.(4)), to Evans' non-associative numbers (3) and to Etherington's partitive numbers (2). The free commutative logarithmetic is the homomorph of f determined by the congruence relation P + Q ∼ Q + P. Formulæ for aδ and pα, i.e. the numbers of indices of of a given potency* δ and the number of indices of a given altitude α respectively, were given by Etherington (1), who also gave corresponding formulæ for commutative indices of . Other enumeration formulæ are contained in (5).
