Definition 1 We shall say that one has the strict sense level clustering if 7rk(C) == lim 7rk(C; L) L-+oo holds for each c > 0 and k ~ k = e- cckl. (7) 0 . Obviously, the strict sense level clustering is equivalent to the weak convergence as L ~ 00 of the probability distribution {7rk (c; L)} ~o on Z+ to the Poisson distribution with mean c. As is well known in probability theory, a sufficient condition for this weak convergence is that the moments of all orders of {7rk (c; L) }~o converges to those of the Poisson distribution.

MINAMI 1 An outline of Berry-Tabor's theory and the definition of clustering and repulsion of energy levels. Consider a bounded physical system of d-degrees of freedom which is described by a classical Hamiltonian H(p, q) , (p, q) E Rd X Rd . Let H(n) be its quantization, and {En(n)}n~l be the energy levels (eigenvalues) of H(n) . Here n is the Planck's constant, and we suppose that the spectrum of H(n) is purely discrete. Now the assertion of Berry and Tabor ([2]) is the following: Suppose the classical dynamical system associated to H(p, q) is completely integrable.
