摘　　要：Mardia (1970) defined a measure of multivariate kurtosis and derived its asymptotic distributionfor samples from a multivariate normal population. Some new results on elliptical distributions areused to extend Mardia's results to samples from an elliptical distribution. These results provide amethod for testing hypotheses on the kurtosis parameter of elliptical distributions. An appendixprovides extensions of Kendall and Stuart's (1977) standard errors of bivariate moments to the thirdand fourth order.Mardia (1970) defined a measure of multivariate kurtosis and derived its asymptotic distributionfor samples from a multivariate normal population.
