Abstract
A modified version of the field equations of general relativity is obt ained on relaxing the covariant energy-momentum conservation condition . This introduces a single arbitrary constant and does not appear to u pset the successes of general relativity in or outside cosmology. The matter-dominated cosmological model, based on the generalized field eq uations, is discussed. It is shown to provide more room for consistenc y with the observational data.
