The main result in this paper, contained in Theorem 1, is a generalisation of the inequality of the arithmetic-geometric means. A result of a similar character has been proved by Siegel (2). The present result gives an improvement in the inequality in the case when the variables involved are not all distinct, whereas Siegel's result does not. The theorem is used in § 3 to obtain a result in connection with totally real and positive algebraic integers.
