Abstract
A wider class of solutions to the nonlinear differential equation y(n) + p (x) y = q(m) (x)/y(2m-1) than that given by Reid is obtained. In the process the relationships between Kummer-Liouville transformations and generalized canonical transformations and autonomous Hamiltonian systems and Lie point symmetries are uncovered.
