HISTORY OF THE THEORY OF NUMBERS. 



[CHAP. XXVI 



The Encyclopedic des sc. math., I, 3, p. 473, cited the criteria g(2) = 0, 

 g(3)==0 (mod p}, without stating that the unknowns are prime to p. 



On u 3 +v 3 = hp", where h is a prime, see Baer 224 of Ch. XXI. Thue 236 of 

 Ch. XXI proved that x 6 +y 6 =M 6 , also that x*+y* =M 2 if z is not divisible by 3.
