Abstract
We show that the well-known most general static and spherically symmet ric exact solution to the Einstein-massless scalar equations given by Wyman is the same as one found by Janis, Newman and Winicour several y ears ago. We obtain the energy associated with this space-time and fin d that the total energy for the case of the purely scalar field is zer o.
