Abstract
It is shown that a unique system of equations suitable for the purposes of combining gravitation and electromagnetism and differing by the fact that its compatibility is assured by two identities of different order in differentiation exists in the Einstein theory of absolute parallelism. The system turns out to be irregular in the case of the usual dimensionality of space. The possibility is noted of solutions with a zero electromagnetic field.
