Abstract
The equations of motion of a charged particle moving in a general Riemannian space are derived. A vierbein treatment is adopted in contrast to the tensorial procedure of DeWitt and Brehme [see Ann. Phys. (N. Y.) 9, 220 (1960)] with a subsequent simplification of computations referring to the world tube. The resulting equations of motion differ from those of DeWitt and Brehme by the inclusion of terms involving the Ricci tensor. This discrepancy appears to be due to an error on the part of the above authors, which is discussed in the text.
