In a recent paper [1] I. B. Lazarevic announced an extension of results of L. Tornheim [2; Theorems 2 & 3] concerning points of contact between two distinct members of an n-parameter family and between a member of an n-parameter family and a corresponding convex function. In the proofs of these extensions [1; Theorems 3.1 & 3.2] use is made of Tornheim′s Convergence Theorem [2; Theorem 5]; however this theorem is not correctly applied in [1] since it requires distinct limiting nodes, and that hypothesis necessarily fails in the approach used in [1], In this note proofs of results more general than those in [1] are given independent of convergence theorems.
