The problem discussed is the formal solution of certain dual integral equations involving H-functions. The method followed is that of fractional integration. The given dual integral equations have been transformed, by the application of fractional integration operators, into two others with a common kernel and the problem is then reduced to solving one integral equation. In the first case the common kernel comes out to be a symmetrical Fourier kernel given earlier by Fox and the formal solution is then immediate. In the second case the common kernel is a generalized Fourier kernel and dual integral equations of this type have recently been studied by Fox.
