We present a calculation of the Z dependence of the atomic capture of negative mesons in simple compounds. We choose a self-consistent Fermi-Thomas potential and solve the resulting Schr\"odinger equation describing the meson in the solid. The results give better agreement with experiment than the Fermi-Teller linear Z law. The observed oscillatory behavior of the capture ratio as a function of Z for oxides is qualitatively explained.
