Abstract
It is shown that for a free spinless particle described by the
Kemmer equation, the Hamiltonian which Kemmer originally presented
yields a velocity operator whose expectation value does not agree with
the correspondence principle. Hamiltoniaos for a free spinless particle
and a spinless particle in an electromagnetic field are constructed
from the Kemmer equation. These Hairoi I toniaos differ from the ones
originally presented by Kemmer. The free particle Hamiltonian yields
a velocity operator whose expectation value is consistent with the
correspondence principle.
