The problem of three‐dimensional migration is solved for arbitrary, three‐dimensional, continuously differentiable velocity functions v = v ( x 4 ) by means of series. The derived formulae are applied to numerical examples. The possibility of approximating real, discontinuous velocity distributions by continuous functions is mentioned and illustrated by an example. The application of electronic computers, which is necessary due to the complexity of the formulas, is discussed.
