Einstein, Berlin Received Septemb er 18, 1922 Zeitschrift fur Physik The wo rk cited contains a result concerning a non-stationary wo rld which seems susp ect to me. Indeed, those solutions do not app ear compatible with the eld equations (A). F rom the eld equations it follows necessa rily that the divergence of the matter tenso r T ik vanishes. This along with the anzatzes (C) and (D) leads to the condition @ =@ x = 0 4 which together with (8) implies that the wo rld-radius R is constant in time. The signicance of the wo rk therefore is to demonstrate this constancy. REFERENCES: Friedmann, A. 1922, Zs. f. Phys. , 10, 377.
