It is shown that the 1[ital S] level hyperfine populations prior to muon capture will be statistical when either target or beam is unpolarized independent of the atomic level at which the hyperfine interaction becomes appreciable. This assertion holds in the absence of magnetic transitions during the cascade and is true because of minimal polarization after atomic capture and selective feeding during the cascade.
