In Russell (1973) a Riemann-type necessary and sufficient condition was given for the existence of (defined also in Russell (1975)) when f was bounded and g was k-convex in [a′, b′]. In this paper we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a particular Stieltjes-type integral without imposing a convexity condition upon g. These conditions are used to obtain an additivity result for the integral over adjoining intervals without any additional restrictions being imposed upon the functions involved.
