It is shown that a linear specific heat in amorphous systems at low temperatures is a general consequence of the nonapplicability of the third law of thermodynamics. A hydrodynamic formula relating the pair density of states of Anderson et al. to diffusive and mechanical coefficients, determinable under favorable conditions by Rayleigh light scattering is also proposed.
