Salem and Zygmund (1947, 1948), Baker (1972) and Dudley (1975) have shown that certain lacunary sets P of characters of a compact abelian group have sequences of the form where фk∈P converge to the normal distribution if suitably normalized. In this paper, a theorem of probability due to McLeish (1974) is applied to clarify and extend the previous results.
