The author’s 1986 paper with the same title is reprinted here alongside some comments and corrections. The original abstract, here translated in English, was as follows: "Some further results are presented concerning a class of density functions already examined in another work of the author (1985). Specifically, an additional shape parameter is introduced which allows a wide range of the coefficients of asymmetry and kurtosis."
