Abstract
The metric of the space and the flux density of gravitational energy in the wave zone are found under the Infeld coordinate conditions. Calculations show that the radiated energy under these conditions is the same as that under harmonic conditions, contrary to Infeld's assertion, but this energy vanishes under the coordinate conditions he found.
