Abstract:
      This paper provides a pair of summation formulas for a kind of combinatorial series involving $\binom{ak+b}{m}$ as a factor of the summand. The construction of formulas is based on a certain series transformation formula [2,\,7,\,9] and by making use of the $C$-numbers [3]. Various consequences and examples including several remarkable classic identities are presented to illustrate some applications of the formulas obtained.
