%X A series expansion in powers of Planck's constant is adapted to yield the quantum mechanical correction to the classical statistics of an "almost one·dimensional" system. The result is of validity at the high temperature end only of the specifically quantum temperature region. Application to the thermal expansion of solid argon gives reasonable agreement with experiment.
