Abstract
Jeans's analysis of the problem of the gravitational stability of an infinite homogeneous medium is examined and the need for including turbulence in the discussion is pointed out. The subject is then reconsidered from the point of view of the modem theories of turbulence, and it is shown how eddies in the density fluctuations which have wave numbersKeywords
