The condition that with velocity-potential P -J- 4 , there is no flow perpen¬ 
dicular to the spherical surface, gives 
be the spherical harmonic developments of P and 4 relatively to the centre 
of the rigid globe as origin, the former necessarily convergent throughout the 
largest spherical space which can be described from this point as centre 
without enclosing any part of the core; the latter necessarily convergent 
throughout space external to the sphere. By (33) we have
