Some Summation Formulas for the Series 3F2(1)

Summation formulas, contiguous to Watson's and Whipple's theorems in the theory of the generalized hypergeometric series, are obtained. Certain limiting cases of these results are given. 1. Two Results Contiguous to Watson's Theorem. The two following summation formulas for series 3F2(1) are useful, interesting, easily established, and probably new. They are
