            <p>This paper concerns a formula which relates the Lefschetz number <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1812-2006-87657-i1.gif"/></inline-formula> for a map <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1812-2006-87657-i2.gif"/></inline-formula> to the fixed point index <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1812-2006-87657-i3.gif"/></inline-formula> summed with the fixed point index of a derived map on part of the boundary of <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1812-2006-87657-i4.gif"/></inline-formula>. Here <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1812-2006-87657-i5.gif"/></inline-formula> is a compact manifold and <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1812-2006-87657-i6.gif"/></inline-formula> is <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1812-2006-87657-i7.gif"/></inline-formula> with a collar attached.</p>
