Electron cyclotron absorption and emission, with allowance for the relativistic effects for propagation along the magnetic field in a plasma with arbitrary refraction index N and anisotropic distribution function of electrons is investigated. This question seems to be important for two reasons: the maser instability is known to arise in nonrelativistic plasmas with anisotropic temperature; accurate allowance for the relativistic effects (which is important even for nonrelativistic plasmas) leads to the conclusion that the negative absorption is strictly forbidden for any distribution function of a tenuous plasma in the case of longitudinal propagation. The study consideration matches these limiting cases.
