A gas with a Maxwellian distribution of velocity is first considered in equilibrium with constant concentration. In a uniform field of force---such as the gravitational field--this gas gets a new equilibrium state, described by the Boltzmann equation, and the concentration of particles with distance is a function of their mass, so separation of isotopes is observed. The law of variation of concentration with time during the transient state between the two states of equilibrium under survey is shown. (auth)
