Abstract
Vacuum field equations for the conformally-flat spherically-symmetric static space-time are obtained in a self-creation theory of gravitation proposed by Barber. It is shown that the most general conformally-flat spherically-symmetric static vacuum model in this theory represents only purely flat space-time.
