Abstract
Maximum likelihood (m. l.) estimate of the infinite multinomial distribution exists with probability 1 and is consistent under a simple condition on the cell probabilities. To prove the consistency of an m. l. estimate of a parameter it is necessary to assume that the parameter is a continuous function of the distribution. The existence of the m. l. estimates of parameters and their consistency is established slightly weaker that those assumed by earlier writers.
