Abstract
IN recent discussions1 of the problem of gravitational collapse reference has repeatedly been made to the ‘nucleonic mass’ of a body as an integral involving the density and pressure of the material. In this, modern work has followed earlier results by Eddington2 and Tolman on the supposed particle number integral for a spherically symmetrical configuration, according to general relativity.
