Some new corrections to the hydrogen Lamb shift from multiphoton exchange graphs have been calculated and found to be 1 kHz. Radiative corrections to the proton line have also been considered for diagrams containing two exchanged Coulomb interactions and have been found to be of the order of {ital Z}{sup 2}{alpha}(Z{alpha}){sup 5}m{sup 3}/M{sup 2} and therefore negligible.
