Abstract: In this paper we show a a proof by explicit bijections of the famous Kirkman-Cayley formula for the number of dissections of a convex polygon. Our starting point is the bijective correspondence between the set of nested sets made by (k) subsets of ({1,2,...,n}) with cardinality (geq 2) and the set of partitions of ({1,2,...,n+k-1}) into (k) parts with cardinality (geq 2).
