An equation of state for a neutron gas, derived from the work of T. H. R. Skyrme, is given. Relativistic forms of the terms in the equation were not used. At densities of >10/sup 15/ g/cc where relativistic terms would be important, this equation is not expected to be valid. The general relativistic equations of hydrostatic equilibrium are given for which there are no solutions for proper masses in excess of three stars. It does not appear likely that much more than one star mass will condense to form a neutron star in a supennova explosion, and stable solutions should exist for such a case. (B.O.G.)
