    Using an identity obtained in an earlier paper [\textit{B. Srivastava}, Kyungpook Math. J. 45, 603--607 (2005; Zbl 1101.11005)] the author derives new theta-function identities. One of these leads to another proof of the classical formula for the number of representations of a positive integer as a sum of two squares.
