    In [J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 47, No.~4, 735--766 (2007; Zbl 1148.22010)] the author derived a formula for the leading term of the Hilbert polynomial of a spherical nilpotent orbit. This formula reduces the problem of determining the degree of the orbit to the evaluation of an integral of the type \[ \int_{S_n}\left(\prod_{1\leq j\leq n} x_j^p\right)\left(\prod_{1\leq j<k\leq n}(x_j^2-x_k^2)^d\right) dx, \] where \(S_n\) is the set of all \(x\in{\mathbb R}^n\) such that \(x_1\geq x_2\geq\dots\geq x_n\geq 0\) and \(\sum_{j=1}^n x_j\leq 1\). In the current paper, the author computes these integrals explicitly and expresses them as fairly simple products of shifted values of the \(\Gamma\)-function.
