The linear laws pertaining to viscous phenomena are derived for a relativistic plasma in an electromagnetic field. The results found in this microscopic context fit precisely into the general scheme obtained on a macroscopic level by Hooyman, de Groot and Mazur. \* Formulae of the preceding article
An expression for the entropy production has been derived on the basis of which it is argued that the choice of reference frame as proposed by Landau and Lifshitz is to be preferred rather than any other possibility.
Expressions are given for the space attenuation coefficient of hydromagnetic waves in a relativistic plasma. By taking into account all transport processes known from the Chapman-Enskog procedure a hitherto unnoticed dissipative effect is found. A comparison is made with the attenuation of sound wav
