The tau function corresponding to the affine ring of a certain plane algebraic curve, called (n, s)-curve, embedded in the universal Grassmann manifold is studied. It is neatly expressed by the multivariate sigma function. This expression is in turn used to prove fundamental properties on the series expansion of the sigma function established in a previous article in a different method.
