Paper II of this series was less rigorous than desirable, particularly in the fitting of internal and external potentials. A method is developed in this paper properly to fit the external and internal potentials on the distorted configuration boundary. Displacement of the fiting radius from the radius of a nonrotating configuration in general changes the distorted boundary location by an insignificant amount. A comparison of this theory with the numerical integrations of James (1964) shows excellent agreement to at least an angular velocity equalling 70% of critical rotation. The comparison is for polytropic indices of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0.
