Abstract
As an illustration of the general considerations on nonlocal fields in the preceding letter, let us assume that the operator F has a very simple form
where λ is a small constant with the dimension of length. One may call this the four-dimensional oscillator model for the elementary particle, which was considered first by Born1 in connection with his idea of a self-reciprocity. However, our model differs from his model in that we have introduced internal degrees of freedom of the particles which are related to the nonlocalizability of the field itself.
Now at Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, on leave of absence from Columbia University (July, 1953).

Equation (5) has no solution which is quadratically integral unless k is time-like, i.e., k<sub>μ</sub>k<sub>m</sub><0.
