%X The transport properties of an electron swarm drifting and diffusing in hydrogen as determined from a numerical solution of Boltzmann's equation are compared with those derived previously from a Monte Carlo simulation. The same set of cross sections has been used with each method to calculate transport coefficients in the range 0·5 .;;; EIN.;;; 200 Td. The comparison shows that the Boltzmann analysis is valid in this case whenever ionization is not significant.
