Abstract
We give an explicit formula for the fact given by Links and Gould that a one variable reduction of the LG polynomial coincides with a one variable reduction of the Kauffman polynomial. This implies that the crossing number of an adequate link may be obtained from the LG polynomial by using a result of Thistlethwaite. We also give some evaluations of the LG polynomial.
