      This paper contains two new results in the enumeration of rhombus tilings: Translating tilings to determinants using the Gessel-Viennot ``method'' of nonintersecting lattice paths, the author obtains a triple sum, which then is evaluated by using hypergeometric transformations and summations. These computations yield the number of rhombus tilings of a hexagon with opposite sides of equal lengths, which contain the central rhombus, and the ``next-to-central'' rhombus, respectively.
