✦ Synopsis
A general transformation involving generalized hypergeometric functions has been recently found by Rathie and Rakha using simple arguments and exploiting Gauss's summation theorem. In this sequel to the work of Rathie and Rakha, a new hypergeometric transformation formula is derived by their method and by appealing to Gauss's second summation theorem. In addition, it is shown that the method fails to give similar hypergeometric transformations in the cases of the classical summation theorems of Kummer, Bailey, Watson and Dixon.

An asymptotic expansion of the confluent hypergeometric function U(a,b,x) for large positive 2a-b is given in terms of modified Bessel functions multiplied by Buchholz polynomials, a family of double polynomials in the variables b and x with rational coefficients.
The elementary manipulation of series together with summations of Gauss, Saalschutz and Dixon are employed to deduce a two-term relation for the hypergeometric function 3F2(1) and a summation formula for the same function, neither of which has previously appeared in the literature. The two-term rela
