From letters, personal reminiscences, and the published works of the authors involved, the historical development of the Bhabha system of first-order relativistic wave equations for arbitrary spin is described. The simplest special cases of these equations reduce to the Dirac and DKP (Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau) equations for spin-/sup 1///sub 2/ and spins 0 and 1, respectively.
