A continuous random network (CRN), consisting of 238 tetrahedrally co‐ordinated atoms, has been constructed so as to contain only even‐membered rings. Its basic structural properties are reviewed and compared with those of the Polk‐like 201‐atom model of Steinhardt et al. The correlations of bond length and bond angle distortions are investigated and their effect on the structure and its strain energy estimated. Finally, a CRN is proposed that should describe the structure of amorphous Ge more accurately than either of the present models.
