review text: In [Adv. Math. 70, 87-132 (1988; Zbl 0691.13026)] the authors developed connections between Witt vectors and Burnside rings. Using this they give a simple combinatorial proof of a multinomial identity for Witt vectors, which was originally discovered by H. Gaudier in the special case of the universal Witt vectors.
