A diagrammatic expansion for the Slpin-spin correlation function is derived and renormalized. The resulting form of the perturbation theory has been used to derive high-temperature series, for various lattices and anisotropies, through orderT (closepacked lattices) and T- 9 (loose-packed lattices).
