Von Neumann's definition of the continuous sum of Hilbert spaces led Segal [3] to define the continuous sum of measures on a measurable space. In this note we employ Segal's definition to investigate the measure structures associated with a self-adjoint transformation of pure point spectrum and a self-adjoint transformation of pure continuous spectrum. While these transformations, as operators on separable Hilbert spaces, are the antithesis of each other we show that in their measure structure one is a particular case of the other.
