Abstract
The electromagnetic shift of the energy levels of a bound electron has been calculated on the basis of the usual formulation of relativistic quantum electrodynamics and positron theory. The theory gives a finite result of 1052 megacycles per second for the shift in hydrogen, in close agreement with the non-relativistic calculation by Bethe.
