Abstract
IN a recent paper1 Euler and Kockel have calculated the effective cross-section for the scattering of light by light. The calculation was carried out for the case of small frequencies ( mc2), the frequencies being taken in a frame of reference, where the total momentum of the colliding quanta vanishes.
