A general discussion of the forbidden reactions such as mu yields e+ gamma , mu yields e+e+e, mu +N yields e+N, mu yields e+ gamma + gamma ,etc., which would arise from a possible nonlocal structure of the weak interactions is given. It is shown, by a canonical transformation, that the dominating terms of the structure, in an expansion in terms of the inverse of the average intermediate mass, do not contribute to any forbidden reaction. A discussion of the mu - e conversion process for a bound mu is given, and the rate is calculated for a particular model. (auth)
