Consider a situation in which balls are falling into $N$ cells with arbitrary probabilities. A limiting distribution for the number of occupied cells after $n$ falls is obtained, when $n$ and $N \rightarrow \infty$, so that $n^2/N \rightarrow \infty$ and $n/N \rightarrow 0$. This result completes some theorems given by Chistyakov (1964), (1967). Limiting distributions of the number of falls to achieve $a_N + 1$ occupied cells are obtained when $\lim \sup a_N/N < 1$. These theorems generalize theorems given by Baum and Billingsley (1965), and David and Barton (1962), when the balls fall into cells with the same probability for every cell.
