In Whittaker and Watson's Modern Analysis, chap, xvi, the asymptotic expansion of the confluent hypergeometric function Wk.m(z) is established for the region—π < amp z < π, z ≠ 0. The object of the first part of this paper is to show that this expansion is valid in the extended region –3π/2 < amp z < 3π/2, z ≠ 0.

page 93 note * Note.—The factor e iM(λ–γ) in the asymptotic expansion of 
is equal to e iMd cos θ – Md sin θ, when λ–γ= deiθ, so that the integral remains convergent when θ varies from 0 to π.
page 95 note * This method could also be employed in the discussion of the integral of Φ(ζ), and then it would be unnecessary to introduce the restriction 0≦n<½.
