Description
Bounds on moments of order statistics have been of interest since Sir Francis Galton (1902) flrst addressed the problem of fairly dividing flrst and second prize money in a competition. The present compendium of results represents our effort to sort the plethora of results into some semblance of order. We have tried to assign priority for results appropriately. We will cheerfully accept corrections. Omissions of interesting results have inevitably occurred. On this too we await (cheerful) corrections. We are grateful to Peggy Franklin (University of California), Janet Leach, Domenica Calabria and Patsy Chan (McMaster University) who shared the responsibility of typing the manuscript. The flnal form of the manuscript owes much to their skill and patience. Barry C. Arnold Riverside, California U. S. A. N.
