Identities between Field-Equations in the General Field-Theory of Schouten and Van Dantzig

Identities between the field-equations in the general field-theory of Schouten and van Dantzig have been obtained in a recent paper by the author by using a theorem of Emmy Noether. The object of the present paper is to verify these identities by direct substitution and to show the connexion between these identities and those found by E. T. Whittaker between the field-equations of Einstein's General Relativity. An attempt is also made to introduce A, the universal constant, proportional to the square of the curvature of the world into the field equations and the identities.
