We putr(x, y) = { (f(x)?f(y))/(x?y), x≠y, f´(x),  x=y   (1)We have the following :(i)  r(x, y)=r(y, x),(ii) r(x, z)(x?z)=r(x, y)(x?y)+r(y, z)(y?z),(iii) ___x→y r(x, y)=r(y, y),(iv) r is continuous at a point (x, y) of x≠y. Newly, having no relation to (1), let r(x, y) be a real function of 2-varia-bles, α<x, y<β. In [1], if r(x, y) satisfies the previous (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), then we obtain Rolle’s theorem and mean value theorem, namely, (v) if r(a, b)=0,a<b, then there exists c(a<c<b) such that r(c, c)=0,(vi) for a,b(a<b), there exists c(a<c<b) such that r(a, b)=r(c, c).The purpose of this note is to point out that if r(x, y) satisfies (i), (ii), (iii), then we have (iv), (v), (vi) and Cauchy's theorem, namely,(vii) if a function s(x, y) satisfies (i), (ii), (iii) and s(x, y)≠0, (a≦x, y≦b)   for a<b, then there exists c(a<c<b) such that (r(a, b))/(s(a, b)) = (r(c, c))/(s(c, c)).}, pages = {441--443}, title = {A Certain Consideration on Derivatives and Rolle's Theorem}, volume = {7}, year = {1976} }
