Abstract: We have applied the Krieger-James approximation to a description of short range order effects in both ferro- and antiferromagnetism. In this method, a mechanical consistency condition is imposed on the probability distribution of a pair of near neighbours in a cluster of (Z + 1) ions. The resulting theory is analytically equivalent to the familiar constant coupling approximation, thus ensuring thermodynamic equilibrium of the system.
