Let G be a connected semisimple Lie group and K a maximal compact subgroup of G.We shall show in this paper that G has a discrete series (see [4 (d), w 5]) ff and only if it has a compact Cartan subgroup B. Let Ea denote the set of all equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of G, wMch are square-integrable.For any ~o E ~a, let | denote the character, X~ the infinitesimal character and d(r the formal degree (see [4 (d), w 3]) of co.Then it is known [4 (d), w 5] that the distribution
