Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the stochastic and deterministic theories for a prey-predator situation in which no births are involved. Both theories can be solved in closed form, and the results of the theories can be compared. It is shown that the stochastic theory yields results which approach those of the deterministic theory as the numbers are increased.
