As a continuation of his previous paper with \textit{M. J. Gouvaerts} [ibid. 21, No.3, 311-331 (1988; Zbl 0631.28004)], the author gives a general analytical evaluation formula of Gaussian path-integrals in two and three dimensional Euclidean spaces. He avoids the well-known time- discretization procedure, but uses the convolution property of quantum mechanical Green's function, and some remarkable identities for determinants. In the Appendix, he gives the n-dimensional generalizations of these identities.
