    Four Fuchsian equations are considered: \[ \begin{aligned} x(x-1)(x+1){\Psi }''+(3{{x}^{2}}-1){\Psi }'+x\Psi &=0,\\ x({{x}^{2}}+3x+3){\Psi }''+(3{{x}^{2}}+6x+3){\Psi }'+(x+1)\Psi &=0,\\ x(x-1)(x+8){\Psi }''+(3{{x}^{2}}+14x-8){\Psi }'+(x+2)\Psi &=0, \\ x({{x}^{2}}+11x-1){\Psi }''+(3{{x}^{2}}+22x-1){\Psi }'+(x+3)\Psi &=0.\end{aligned} \] It is noted that these equations are the only linear ordinary differential equations of the class \[ p{\Psi }''+{p}'{\Psi }'+(x+A)\Psi =0,\;p:=x(x+\alpha )(x+\beta ), \] whose solutions can be represented in terms of known special functions. The author shows that any of these equations can be received from other equation by means of an algebraic change of variables. All algebraic relations for the variables are presented in an explicit form.
