Using a method suggested by E. S. Barnes, it is shown that the simultaneous inequalities r(p — αr)2 < c, r(q — βr)2 < c have an infinity of integral solutions p, q, r (with r > 0), for arbitrary irrationals α and β, provided that c > 1/2.6394. This improves an earlier result of Davenport, who shows that the same conclusion holds if c > 1/46¼ = 1/2.6043 ….
