In a recent paper' Mrs. E. H. Pearson and the writer considered certain types of trinomial congruences, and in later papers the writer2 3 developed this topic further and pointed out2 a relation of such questions to Case II of Fermat's Last Theorem. In the present paper we shall continue this investigation. Let p be an odd prime and F[pn] denote a finite field of order pf, and consider the solutions s, t of gi+C+ gJ+t 1 (1)
