Abstract: This is Part III, concluding the series of three papers on The Theory of Search Part I, Kinematic Bases , appeared in Opns. Res. 4, 324--346 (1956) and Part II, Target Detection , in 4, 503--531 (1956). The present paper, while similar in content and results to the third chapter of Search and Screening (O.E.G. Report No. 56, confidential ) represents a considerable change in methodology as well as in exposition. The material was first presented by the author at the fall meeting of the Operations Research Society of America in 1953, where it was treated as a natural extension of his paper, The Optimum Distribution of Effort [this J ournal , 1, 52--63 (1953)].
