The main purposer of the present paper is to derive the induced (Finsler) connections on the hypersurface from the Finsler connections of Cartan type (a Wagner, Miron, Cartan C- and Cartan Y- connection) of a Finsler space and to seek the necessary and sufficient conditions that the induced connections coincide with the intrinsic connections. And we show the differences of quantities with respect to the respective a connections and an induced Cartan connection. Finally we show some examples.

We consider the special hypersurface of the first approximate Matsumoto metric with $b_i(x)={\partial}_ib$ being the gradient of a scalar function b(x). In this paper, we consider the hypersurface of the first approximate Matsumoto space with the same equation b(x)=constant. We are devoted to finding the condition for this hypersurface to be a hyperplane of the first or second kind. We show that this hypersurface is not a hyper-plane of third kind.
