Abstract
Rosseland mean opacities for a gas of primeval chemical composition are tabulated for a temperature range from 1500K to 7000K. Molecular effects at low temperatures (below 5000K) have been included and their important contribution to the Rosseland mean opacity is discussed. Also, a comparison with previously published tables is presented.
