Summary

The solution of the internal and external Dirichlet problem is given without assuming rotational symmetry for a body, limited by two intersecting spherical surfaces. The problem is treated in a toroidal system of co-ordinates, using the generalized Mehler integral transform. The results are compared with the solution, presented by Lebedev [1] for the case of rotational symmetry.
