We make the corresponding substitutions in equation (62), including the value

.(66). 
The right-hand side of (66) apparently contains terms of the first order, while 
on the left the lowest order occurring is the second. But the coefficient of q^iy in 
the first order terms is 
K'Vz ^ xz'^xy) rxy1"zy "1" ('"a'z ^'yz'^'xy^ '^^zx "I" '^yz O'xz ry^Txy) (j'yz '^^xz^xy}]

0--1''xy) 
and vanishes identicall3^ Similarly the coefficient of q^y-i is zero and thus 
equation (66) is a relation between terms of second and higher orders. 
A first approximation then may be obtained by equating second order terras. 
This gives
