Notes:
A new, geometrical account of the existence of alternative (s-equivalent) Lagrangians is given for a particle moving in three-dimensional Euclidean space under the influence of a central force. The fact that the Lagrangian for this familiar problem is not unique was pointed out by Henneaux and Shepley [J. Math. Phys. 23, 2101 (1982)]: the present analysis makes the reasons for the phenomenon more transparent than theirs.
