Abstract
Summary The distribution theory and possible constructions for spacings (differences) between successive order statistics of a sample of independent and identically distributed random variables are reviewed. The problem of finding the limiting distribution of a function of spacings is discussed and some general limit theorems for such are presented.

It is shown that the tests of interval analysis are perfectly analogous to those of Analysis of Variance tests for the normal law variation and the published tables of Χ 2, t and z can be used to obtain the 5 and 1 per cent levels of significance for the corresponding tests of the Exponential Theory.
