Abstract
In this paper, a method is given for calculating the HOMFLY polynomials of two bridge knots by using a representation of the braid group $\mathbb {B}_4$ into a group of $3\times 3$ matrices. Also, examples will be given of a 2-bridge knot and a 3-bridge knot that have the same Jones polynomial, but different HOMFLY polynomials.
