Abstract
We have calculated the effect of the anisotropy in the electron-phonon interaction on the temperature dependence of the Hall constant in the alkali metals. We find that the effective number of carriers ${n}^{*}$ decreases with temperature in qualitative agreement with experiment. At low temperatures, we find a minimum in ${n}^{*}$.
