          <dc:description>In Chapter I we shall prove a new upper bound in the linear sieve. Our purpose in Chapter II is to explain our method in greater detail than was done in Chapter I. Let x be a large number. We consider $\pi\sb2$(x)--the number of prime twins not exceeding x. Using the new upper bound in the linear sieve from Chapter I, we shall prove that$$\rm\pi\sb2({x}) 0$ and x $\geq$ x$\sb0(\epsilon),$ where$$\rm H = 2{\prod\limits\sb{p&gt;2}}\left(1-{1\over(p-1)\sp2}\right).$$In the Appendix, various computations cited in the text are given in detail.</dc:description>
