Abstract
A statistical theory is formulated to describe the number of particles in an arbitrarily designated volume of a dense disperse system as a random function of time. This theory is a natural extension to concentrated systems of the Smolukhovskii-Einstein statistic, which they proposed for the Brownian motion of indistinguishable noninteracting particles.
