    For a four-dimensional Riemannian manifold with corner the author defines two new extrinsic curvature quantities on the corner of the manifold. One of these is a pointwise conformal invariant, and the conformal transformation of the other is governed by a new linear second-order pointwise conformally invariant partial differential operator. A version of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem is then stated and proved.
