Some years ago M. Jackson(5) obtained the sum of a particular 3H3 series which generalized the theorems of Whipple and Watson on sums of a 3F2 series, and later she(6) deduced the sum of a particular well-poised 6H6( – 1) series. In this note sums of certain particular bilateral hypergeometric series of the same type are given. They are believed to be new. In the sequel, the sum of a particular 8Ψ8 series has been obtained. The existence of a particular case of this sum was pointed out earlier by Slater and Lakin (11).
