The aim of the present paper is to introduce a definition of the Perron-Stieltjes integral employing the notion of approximate derivative with respect to a nondecreasing function ω and to study some of the properties of the integral. Various authors have studied the Perron integral and Perron-Stieltjes integral in different ways, most of which can be found in the references appended in the list of the bibliography. Among them Ridder [10] uses the concept of approximate co-derivative but he assumes that the monotone function a associated with co is continuous. Finally we consider a more general type of integral, the co-approximately continuous Denjoy-Stieltjes integral, defined descriptively by the method of Saks [11].
