In several previous communications to the Society, I have considered the equations of vortex motion in two dimensions in a compressible fluid. In the present communication I propose to consider certain forms of the hydro-dynamical equations of a more general kind. In certain cases the fluid will be supposed to be rotating, prior to the introduction of the vortex motion, with uniform angular velocity about a fixed axis.
