heal.abstract	A general method for deriving Backlund transformations for the Ernst equation (1968) is presented. It is based on an ansatz of Clairin's type and the consistency conditions of the resulting system of differential equations. It is found that a simple ansatz gives Ehler's transformation (1957), even though the functions appearing in the ansatz belong to a wide class of functions.	en
