Extract

The main object of this paper is to give a self-contained elementary proof of a result (Theorem 1, below), which could be deduced from a theorem of Siegel ([1], Satz 2). It seems worth while to do so, because Siegel's proof is long and difficult, though his result is deeper and more precise than mine.
