N2  - This paper contributes to a recent series discussing quantum mechanics defined on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space in which Weyl's commutation relation for unitary operators holds. In an earlier paper, Santhanam and Tekumalla (1976) showed that the commutation relation for hermitian operators with a bounded spectrum tends to Hdsenberg's standard canonical commutation relation as the spectrum becomes continuous and the dimension n -> 00. The present paper offers a formulation which is coordinate free in the limit n -> 00 and makes the limiting procedure especially ransparent.
