A remarkable product formula first derived by Palmer and Tracy (1981 Adv. A
ppl. Math. 2 329) for the integrand of the two-dimensional Ising model susc
eptibility expansion coefficients chi((2n)) for temperatures T less than th
e critical T-c is shown to apply equally for chi((2n+1)) for T > T-c and ag
rees with formulae derived by Yamada (1984 Frog. Theor. Phys. 71 1416). Thi
s new representation simplifies the derivation of the results in the origin
al paper of this title (1999 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 32 3889) to the extent
that the leading series behaviour and the singularity structure can be dedu
ced almost by inspection. The derivation of series is also simplified and I
show, using extended series and knowledge of the singularity structure, th
at there is now unambiguous evidence for correction to scaling terms in the
susceptibility beyond those inferred from a nonlinear scaling field analys
is.
