“On Singular Solutions of Differential Equations,” by 
Robert Rawson, Esq., Hon. Member, Assoc. I.N.A., Mem. 
of the London Math. Society. 
The principle employed in this paper is to impress such 
forms upon the complete primitive of a differential equation 
as will lead at once to its singular solution. 
By this method the two theorems which produce singular 
solutions, viz.., condition of equal roots of the c- equation and 
of the p- equation are readily derived. 
The properties also of ~=0, 0, ^~ = infinity, and 
— infinity, with their limitations are shown to be 
consequences of this principle. 
Remarks occur on the valuable papers of Sir James Cockle, 
Professor Cayley, Mr. Glaisher, and Boole’s proof of Euler’s
