In deriving a formula for atomic capture ratios involving negative muons, Daniel postulates a model leading to a muon energy spectrum of a different character from that indicated by a more complete analysis. In this Comment we emphasize the dependence of the energy spectrum on both inelastic and capture processes, and suggest several experiments which may distinguish between different theoretical models.
