This concluding section has a historical inaccuracy, in that the historical order of
the two Zermelo forms of the axiom of choice is interchanged - and the wrong one
of the two is therefore ascribed to Russell. Moreover this section has no clear indication
of the relationship of the axiom of choice to proofs which were given earlier (especially
on pages 25-27) and which in fact require this axiom. ALONZO CHURCH
GONZALO ZUBIETA R. De/iniciones formales de numerabilidad. Boletin de la
Sociedad Matemdtica Mexicana, ser. 2, vol. 1 no. 1 (1956), pp. 49-56.
The firstpart of the paper is a presentation of the Henkin-Hasenjaeger completeness
proof for (a system equivalent to) the fragment of Quine's NF (II 86) obtained when
stratification of formulas is abandoned and the principles of extensionality (P1)
and abstraction (R3) are omitted.
Then, in a system Q equivalent to NF the author considers two definitions of the
ordered pair (x, y) (the first is D 14 of NF):
D 14. (x, y) for {{x}, {x, y}}
and
D14'. (x, y) for {{x}, {x, {y}}}.
These two definitions lead to two distinct notions of one-to-one function, hence to
two distinct notions of denumerability. Let D and V' be the two formulas that result
from the schema
(y)()(t) (y, t) e x & (z, t) ex -* (y = z)
when D14 and D14', respectively, are used. Then, the author states, both
F(x, 0) = a(x), F(x, Siy) = bi(x, y, F(x, y)) for all successors Si,
where the functions bj are subject to the conditions
