Let H n = n r=1 1/r and H n (x) = n r=1 1/(r + x). Let ψ(x) denote the digamma function. It is shown that H n (x) + ψ(x + 1) is approximated by 1 2 log f (n + x), where f (x) = x 2 + x + 1 3 , with error term of order (n + x)-5. The cases x = 0 and n = 0 equate to estimates for H n-γ and ψ(x + 1) itself. The result is applied to determine exact bounds for a remainder term occurring in the Dirichlet divisor problem.
