Abstract
The contact Darwin term is demonstrated to be of the same origin as th e spin-orbit interaction. The (Z alpha)(4)m(3)/M(2) correction to the Lamb shift, generated by the Darwin term, is found for an arbitrary no nvanishing spin of the nucleus, both half-integer and integer. There i s also a contribution of the same nature to the nuclear quadrupole mom ent.
