Attention has recently been drawn to the obscurity of the usual presentations of Mayer's method of solution of the total differential equationThis method has the practical advantage that only a single integration is required, but its theoretical discussion is usually based on the validity of some other method of solution. Mayer's method gives a result even when the equation (1) is not integrable, but this cannot of course be a solution. An examination of the conditions under which the result is actually an integral of equation (1) leads to a proof of the existence theorem for (1) which is related to Mayer's method of solution in a natural way, and which moreover appears to be novel and of value in the presentation of the subject.
