Abstract:   The incomplete Beta function $B(a,b;x)$ is defined by $B(a,b;x) = \int_0^x t^{a-1} (1-t)^{b-1}\,dt\,,$ for $a,b>0$ and $0<x<1$. This definition was extended to negative integer values of $a$ and $b$ by \"Oz\c ca\=g et al. Partial derivatives of the incomplete Beta function $B(a,b;x)$ for negative integer values of $a$ and $b$ were then evaluated. In the following, it is proved that $B_{0,1}(-1,1;x) = -\ln \frac{x}{ 1-x}- \frac{\ln (1-x)} {x}-1$ and $n B_{0,1}(-n,1;x)=-\ln \frac{x}{1-x}- \frac{ \ln(1-x) }{ x^n}-n^{-1} +\sum _{i=1}^ {n-1} \frac{x^{-i} }{ i}\,,$ for $n=2,3,\ldots,$ where $\frac{\partial^{{\kern.5pt}m+n}}{\partial a^m\partial b^n}B(a,b;x) = B_{m,n}(a,b;x)\,.$
Further results are also given.
