Cover Letter

Dear Sirs,

at the moment when I put my foot on the step the idea came to me, without anything in my former thoughts seeming to have paved the way for it, that the transformation that I had used to define the Fuchsian functions were identical with those of non-euclidean geometry.


Best Regards
Henri Poincaré
