Sufficient conditions are given for existence and uniqueness in
Smoluchowski's coagulation equation, for a wide class of coagulation kernels
and initial mass distributions. An example of nonuniqueness is constructed. The
stochastic coalescent is shown to converge weakly to the solution of
Smoluchowski's equation.
