The statistical dimensions of macromolecular chains of fixed contour length can be rapidly calculated by Monte Carlo methods applied to a model consisting of dynamic self‐avoiding random chains on a lattice. This ’’slithering snake’’ model involves moving the head of a chain one space in a lattice with all other elements of the chain moving forward along the old contour. Possible moves of the head are selected at random, but if such a move is precluded by double occupancy, the old configuration is retained, with head and tail interchanged, and then counted as if a move were made. This technique gives unbiased statistical results except for the effect of double cul‐de‐sacs. The method can also be applied to interacting chains, either free or confined to a box. Calculations have been made for 10‐link chains on a square planar lattice for two different concentrations in infinite space and for two concentrations in a small box.
