The variational method of Hulthèn has been applied to the elastic scattering of slow electrons by helium atoms, the effect of exchange being taken into account in calculating the zero-order phase shift. Satisfactory agreement has been obtained with the results given by numerical integration of the integro-differential equation determining the scattering when the total wave function is taken to be completely antisymmetric. Even at very low electron energies (0·04 eV) the agreement with experiment is good.
