First appearance of Holtsmark's important paper in which he for the first time introduced his ""Holtsmark Distribution"". The Holtsmark distribution has applications in plasma physics and astrophysicsJ. Holtsmark proposed the distribution as a model for the fluctuating fields in plasma due to chaoticmotion of charged particles. It is also applicable to other types of Coulomb forces, in particular to modeling of gravitating bodies, and thus is important in astrophysics.
