    The main concerns of this paper are the definition of coherent inference (dF-coherent inference) in conformity with a theory of conditional probabilities derived from de Finetti's coherence principle, and a critical comparison of such a definition with one proposed by \textit{D. Heath} and \textit{W. Sudderth} [ibid. 6, 333-345 (1978; Zbl 0385.62005)] and \textit{D. Lane} and \textit{W. Sudderth} [ibid. 11, 114-120 (1983; Zbl 0563.62003), ibid. 13, 1244-1248 (1985; Zbl 0585.62004), and Sankhyā, Ser. A 46, 166-185 (1984; Zbl 0574.62002)].
