1. Introduction. A sequence {Xn}, n= 0,? 1, 2,..., of real or complex numbers we shall say has uniform density 1 if there are constants L and a such that| Xn-nl? L and lXn-Xml> 5> 0 for n% m. This is a more restrictive notion than density, for, considering only those Xn for which n> 0, it is clear that a sequence of uniform density 1 has a density as defined by Polya equal to 1, but the converse is not true. Sequences of uniform density d are defined in a later part of the present paper for any d> 0. If f (z) is an entire function of exponential type-y, 0< ry< ar, that is, f (z)= O (e&zI) uniformly in all directions as zl-oo, then f (z) is completely determined by its values at any sequence of uniform density 1. Some properties of entire functions of exponential type extend in a natural way from a sequence of uniform density to all points of the real axis or of a strip parallel to the real axis. For example, the authors have shown [6] that if an entire function of exponential type-y, o< ry<? r, is uniformly bounded at a sequence of uniform density 1, then it is uniformly bounded on the entire real axis. It also has a bound in every strip parallel to the real axis. This result was applied to ques-tions concerning the coefficients of power series. In the present paper a further property of sequences of uniform density is proved. It is shown that if f (z) is an entire function of exponential type, y, 0? ty< i7r, belonging to L2 (-s, Io) on the real axis and {X} is a sequence of uniform density 1, then the ratio {En If (Xn)| 2}/If% Y f (x) I 2dx has positive upper and lower bounds independent of the function. An essentially equivalent statement is that if g (t) CL2 (-y, Iy) where O<^ y<-7r, and {AXn} is a sequence of uniform density 1, then there are positive constants A and B independent of the function g (t) such that
