In 11] Ramanathan gave a proof of the equation of degree 11. In 14] G.N. Watson gave a proof of Schläfli-type modular equation of degree thirteen and also examined Schläfli-type modular equations in 15]. Using the theory of modular forms Berndt pp ] pp ] has verified these modular equations. Recently William Hart 6] has proved several Schläfli-type modular equations of degrees and 17 by using modular forms in different levels. 1 Research supported by DST grant SR/S4/MS:509/07 Govt. of India.

Let K K L and L denote the complete elliptic integrals of the first kind associated with the moduli k k l and l respectively. Suppose that the equality 1.) n K K = L L holds for some positive integer n. Then a modular equation of degree n is a relation between the moduli k and l which is induced by 1.). Following Ramanujan set α = k and β = l. Then we say β is of degree n over α. The multiplier m is defined by 1.) m = K L. Ramanujan s class invariant G n is defined by 1.4) G n := 1/4 q 1/4 χq) = {4α1 α)} 1/4 where χq) = q; q ) q = exp π n) and a; q) := 1 aq n ) q < 1. n=0 M.S. Mahadeva Naika 8] and Mahadeva Naika and K. Sushan Bairy 9] have obtained several new explicit evaluations of the Ramanujan-Weber class invariants using modular equations. In this paper we establish several modular equations in the form of Schläfli for degrees and 71. As an application we obtain several explicit evaluations of Ramanujan-Weber class invariants.
