In a recent book, Parthasarathy provides limit theorems for sums of independent random variables defined on a metrizable locally compact abelian group. These results make heavy use of the metric assumption. This paper consists of a reworking of certain results contained in Parthasarathy to see what can be done with- out the metric restriction. Among the topics considered are: necessary and sufficient conditions for a limit law to have an idempotent factor; the relationship between limits of compound Poisson laws and limits of sums of independent random variables; and a representation theorem for certain limit laws. 1. Introduction. A recent book by Parthasarathy, [1], includes a number of limit theorems for uniformly infinitesimal arrays of measures which are defined on metrizable locally compact abelian groups. These theorems provide generalizations of the classical theorems for sums of independent real-valued random variables which appear in the treatise of Gnedenko and Kolmogorov, [2]. The metric assumption is deeply involved in the proofs of the various results of [1] because of the extensive use
