page 488 note * More convergent series for α, a and P. leading to the same mean ages, may be obtained by reckoning the ages from the mean age of the group, or from any age near the central age of the group, instead of from age O. Putting we shall get series similar to (1) and (2) but proceeding by powers of instead of powers of In these series, α 0, α 1, α 2, … will represent the values of life annuities at age (instead of annuities-certain) at successive rates of interest, and the ratios of will be smaller than before, a condition which will further increase the convergence of the series. Except for the greater difficulty of calculating the numerical values of α 0, &c., it would perhaps have been better to develop the whole theory of the Z method on the basis of these more convergent series.

page 490 note * The tests in paragraphs 4 and 5 are rather severe, since equal weights of maturity-ages ranging from 40 to 70 are hardly likely to arise in practice.
