It is shown that an extended Schlömilch formula for Stirling-type pairs of numbers and the inversion formula of Lagrange are implied by each other. Also proved are some congruence relations modulo a prime number p(>2) associated with generalized Stirling numbers. The third result is concerned with the asymptotic expansions of Stirling-type pairs involving large parameters.
