Let D be a bounded, closed, simply-connected domain whose boundary C consists of a finite number of analytic Jordan curves. Let γ be any analytic arc of C. Then we shall prove the following theorem.

Theorem 1. Let u(x, y) be harmonic in the interior of D and continuous on γ, and let ϱu(x, y)/ϱn=g(s) when (x, y) is on γ, where g(s) is an analytic function of arc-length s along γ. Then u(x, y) can be harmonically continued across γ.
