Let {Xnk} be a triangular array of independent random variables satisfying the so-called tail-negligibility condition, i.e. such that Prob{|Xnk| > a} → 0 as both k, n → ∞. It is also assumed that for each fixed k, Xnk converges in distribution as n → ∞. Theorems on the asymptotic behavior of the row sums of the array, analogous to those of the classical theory under the uniform negligibility condition, are presented.
