Expressions for the flow field about a circular cylinder are derived which are valid for small values of the Reynolds' number. These are obtained by Lamb's method from Oseen's equation, and it is shown that the formulae previously given by Lamb involve the neglect of a first order term. Lamb's expression for the drag is correct to the first order in the Reynolds' number.
