Abstract
This paper proves two general partition theorems and several special cases of each with both of the general theorems based on four q-series identities originally due to L. J. Rogers and G. N. Watson. One of the most interesting special cases proves that the number of partitions of an integer n into parts where even parts may not be repeated, and where odd parts occur only if an adjacent even part occurs is equal to the number of partitions of n into parts <!-- MATH $\equiv \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 5, \pm 6, \pm 7 \pmod 20$ --> . The companion theorem proves that the number of partitions of an integer n into parts where even parts may not be repeated, where odd parts 1$"> occur only if an adjacent even part occurs, and where 1's occur arbitrarily is equal to the number of partitions of n into parts <!-- MATH $\equiv \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 5, \pm 6, \pm 8, \pm 9 \pmod 20$ --> .
