Let J be a simple closed curve in a 3-manifold M3. We say M — J is 1-ALG at p ∈ J (or has locally abelian fundamental group at p) if and only if for each sufficiently small open set U containing p, there is an open set V such that p ∈ V ⊂ U and each loop in V — J which bounds in U — J is contractible to a point in U — J.

In an earlier paper [2] we denned the chromatic sums g, q, l and h. We determined the derivatives of these sums with respect to the colour-number λ at the special values λ = 1 and λ = 2. In the present paper we find parametric equations for h, l and q in the case λ = τ + 1, where τ is the golden ratio. We obtain h, l and the basic indeterminate z explicitly in terms of the parameter u, but for q we exhibit only a cubic equation with coefficients depending on u. We obtain an exact formula for the coefficients in h by applying Lagrange's theorem to the parametric equations.
