\textit{H. Weyl} [Am. J. Math. 61, 461-472 (1939; Zbl 0021.35503)] proved a formula giving the volume \(V(\varepsilon)\) of a \(\varepsilon\)-tube of a closed \(\nu\)-dimensional submanifold \(M^\nu\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) as follows: \(V(\varepsilon)= \Omega_m \varepsilon^m\Sigma_e{\varepsilon^e\over (m+2)(m+ 4)\cdots(m+ e)} k_e\) (\(e\): even, \(0\leq e\leq n-m\), \(m=n-\nu\)) where \(\Omega_m\varepsilon^m\) is the volume of the solid \(m\)-dimensional sphere of radius \(\varepsilon\), \(k_e\) is a certain integral invariant of \(M^\nu\) determined by the intrinsic metric nature of \(M^\nu\) only. In Weyl's paper the proof of the formula and the computation of \(k_e\) consists of two stages. The present paper under review gives a more direct treatment of the second stage of Weyl's proof. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00045].
