J. 161:1059, 1970) general scalar-tensor theory of gravitation with the help of a special case proposed by Schwinger. It is observed that only the bulk viscous cosmological model exists in the case of Bianchi type IX universe. Some important features of the models, thus obtained, have been discussed.       IS - 1 PB - OICC Press KW - Bianchi type II, Cosmic strings, Nordtvedt’ s general scalar, Tensor theory, VIII, Bulk viscosity, And IX metrics EN -
