It is shown that certain sum rule identities exist which relate correlation functions for n Potts spins on the boundary of a planar lattice for n≥4. Explicit expressions of the identities are obtained for n = 4. It is also shown that the identities provide the missing link needed for a complete determination of the duality relation for the n-point boundary correlation function. The n = 4 duality relation is obtained explicitly. More generally we deduce the number of sum rule identities as well as a cyclic inversion relation for any n, and conjecture on the general form of the duality relation.
