In this paper we study a property which we call residual -commutativity. This idea was kindled by a paper of Ayoub (1) and one of Stanley (6). Durbin has defined a similar property in (2) which has also been studied by Slotterbeck in (4). Durbin's property implies residual -commutativity but we have not been able to decide if they are equivalent. However, we have shown that they coincide in certain circumstances. The notation, unless otherwise stated, is that of Robinson (3).
