A method is given for solving exactly the equations for slow, steady flow of an incompressible fluid containing a number of particles. These equations have been solved statistically for a suspension of spheres at low concentrations, and it is shown that Einstein's formula is not justified at concentrations above 1%. The procedure for larger concentrations is suggested, though not completed.
