Received 18 February 1974 '7,recompletethe analytic evaluationof sixth order contributions to electron and rouen anomalousmagneticmoments comingfrom second order vacuumpolarizationinsertionsinto all the fourth order graphs. Continuing previous work [1-3] we have completed the analytic evaluation of the electron and muon anomalous magnetic moments ae, a~ due to the insertion of second order vacuum polarization into fourth order graphs. The relevant graphs are shown in fig. 1. They are numbered as in ref. [4]. For ae, both the external and the internal loop leptons in fig. I are electrons. We find a(7) + a(8)= (~) 3 I_ r 3-3-~ 2005--+ 88-~4-{-(2) ---9--154{-(2)log 2 - ~47 {-(3)+ ~5 {-2(2)] = (~)3[._0.00312135] ' a~ll)+a(12)=f°t~3~599\rr] L162

(in all the above results for au, terms vanishing with me/m u are dropped in the righ-hand-side). Quite in the tradition of similar Q.E.D. calculations, the sum looks simpler than separate contributions. Agreement with previous numerical calculations [4] is fairly good*. * In comparing the results of present paper with the results quoted in ref. [4], note that "Class II" of ref. [4] contains also graphs 19), 20), fig. (5.1) of ref. [4], not included in fig. (1), present paper. As an additional cheek, we have made a collapse of the electron bubble in each diagram and we found the fourth order results [5]. 469

The method we used to derive eqs. (1), (2) is a suitable extension of that of ref. [3]. A more complete description of the calculation will be given elsewhere. We thank Dr. M. Caffo for his collaboration in the early stage of this work and Dr. H. Strubbe for his assistance in the use of the Program Schoonschip, by which all algebra was worked out.
