Abstract
The effects of polymolecularity on the second and third light-scattering virial coefficients are calculated for some sample distributions and compared to the values obtained from an approximate treatment by Burchard and coworkers. It is concluded that the Burchard scheme, designed to facilitate the evaluation of light scattering data for associating systems, is generally reliable.
