Abstract
From Kummer's 24 solutions of the ordinary hypergeometric equation and their connections, the general solution of the partial differential equations for the Appell function F1 in the neighborhood of the singular points is found. Connections between the solutions are given to the extent required to continue the F1 function to the neighborhood of any of its singular points. The corresponding problem for the hypergeometric function FD of more than two variables is briefly indicated.
