    Verf. behandelt folgende von \textit{Ramanujan} in dem zweiten seiner Briefe an \textit{Hardy} vom 27.~II.~1913 angekündigten Sätze (Collected papers, p.~XXVIII): (1) Mit \[ f(\xi)= \dfrac{1}{1} \lower1.5ex\hbox{\({}+{}\)} \lower3.0ex\hbox{\(\dfrac{\xi}{1}\)} \lower4.5ex\hbox{\({}+{}\)} \lower6.2ex\hbox{\(\dfrac{\xi^2}{1}\)} \lower7.8ex\hbox{\({}+{}\)} \lower9.5ex\hbox{\(\dfrac{\xi^3}{1}\)} \lower11ex\hbox{\({}+\cdots\)} \] ist, wenn \(\alpha\beta=\pi^2\) ist: \[ \left( \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2} +e^{-\frac{2\alpha}{5}} \cdot f(e^{-2\alpha}) \right) \cdot \left( \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2} +e^{-\frac{2}{5}\beta} \cdot f(e^{-2\beta}) \right) = \frac{5+\sqrt{5}}{2}. \] Ferner ist: \[ \dfrac{1}{1} \lower1.5ex\hbox{\({}+{}\)} \lower3.0ex\hbox{\(\dfrac{e^{-2\pi\sqrt5}}{1}\)} \lower4.5ex\hbox{\({}+{}\)} \lower6.2ex\hbox{\(\dfrac{e^{-4\pi\sqrt5}}{1}\)} \lower7.8ex\hbox{\({}+\cdots{}\)} {}=e^{\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt5}} \left( \dfrac{\sqrt5}{1+\root5\of{5^{\frac34}\cdot \left(\dfrac{\sqrt5-1}2\right)^{\frac52}-1}}-\dfrac{\sqrt5+1}2 \right). \] (2) Mit \[ \varXi= \dfrac{\xi}{1} \lower1.5ex\hbox{\({}+{}\)} \lower3.0ex\hbox{\(\dfrac{\xi^3+\xi^6}{1}\)} \lower4.5ex\hbox{\({}+{}\)} \lower6.2ex\hbox{\(\dfrac{\xi^6+\xi^{12}}{1}\)} \lower7.8ex\hbox{\({}+{}\)} \lower9.5ex\hbox{\(\dfrac{\xi^9+\xi^{18}}{1}\)} \lower11ex\hbox{\({}+\cdots\)} \] ist \[ \xi\cdot(1+\varXi^{-1})=\frac{1+\xi+\xi^3+\xi^6+\xi^{10}+\cdots} {1+\xi^9+\xi^{27}+\xi^{54}+\xi^{90}+\cdots} \] und \[ \xi^3\cdot(1+\varXi^{-3})=\left(\frac{1+\xi^3+\xi^9+\xi^{18}+\xi^{30}+\cdots} {1+\xi^9+\xi^{27}+\xi^{54}+\xi^{90}+\cdots}\right)^4. \]
