Abstract
The Polya urn scheme is extended by allowing a continuum of colors. For the extended scheme, the distribution of colors after draws is shown to converge as to a limiting discrete distribution . The distribution of is shown to be one introduced by Ferguson and, given , the colors drawn from the urn are shown to be independent with distribution .
