A generalised factorial function (z: k)! is defined as an infinite product similar to the Euler product for z!, but with the sequences of integers replaced by the roots of F(z) = sin πz+kπz. It is proved that, apart from poles in (z) < 0, (z: k)! is analytic in both variables, and that F(z) may be expressed in the form F(z) = πz/(z: k)!(—z: k)!
