    The author considers n arbitrary (adequately differentiable) functions of a variable x, the derivatives of various orders of them and their products, and the algebraic relations that hold between these quantities. The product-rule of differentiation is a simple example of such a relation. A more complicated one was used by the author to enumerate rooted Eulerian and bicubic planar maps. The author discusses the latter formula and relates one subcase to the power series in Lagrange's Theorem.
