The transfer equation for coherent isotropic scattering in stellar atmospheres is solved by using Eddington's method. Planck's function is employed as a nonlinear function of optical depth, and the resulting equation applies to atmospheres where the ratio of line to the continuum-absorption coefficient is constant. The residual intensity in the mean contours is then derived to complete the approximate solution for exponential atmospheres.
