Abstract
By introducing two kinds of gaugeon fields, we extend Yokoyama's Type I gaugeon formalism for quantum electrodynamics. The theory admits a q -number gauge transformation by which we can shift the gauge parameter into arbitrary numerical value; whereas in the original theory we can not change the sign of the parameter. The relation to the Type II theo ry is also discussed.
