Summary

Summary: It is well known that the numbers $(2m)!(2n)!/m!n!(m+n)$! are integers, but in general there is no known combinatorial interpretation for them. When $m=0$ these numbers are the middle binomial coefficients $C(2n,n)$, and when $m=1$ they are twice the Catalan numbers. In this paper, we give combinatorial interpretations for these numbers when $m=2$ or 3.
