Calculations are performed for various physical quantities such as the pair correlation function, compressibility, etc., for an interacting electron liquid by solving the set of selfhyphen;consistent equations of the theory of Ichimaru. Comparison is made with other recent theories. It is found that even though being physically more sound, it does not give quite satisfactory results ofg(r) and the compressibility sum rule in comparison to both the original theory of Singwiet al.and its modified version by Vashishta and Singwi. A modification in the theory of Ichimaru is discussed which may lead to remarkable improvement in the results.
