A method of obtaining an approximate solution of Schrödinger's equation with a non-central field of force is given for the case when a solution of a similar equation involving the angular coordinates only is known.
In conclusion I should like to thank Prof. J. E. Lennard-Jones, F.R.S., for suggesting the problem and for his continued interest in it, and also the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research for a grant.
