Abstract
The time evolution of expanded and contracted solitary waves of the Dirac field with scalar self-interaction is exhibited. It is shown that the positivity of the second variation of the energy functional is not a necessary condition for the stability of these waves as has been recently suggested.

6 The claim of soliton instability contained in the first paper of;Ref. 2 is obviously due to the use of a defective numerical scheme. Convergence of the numerical methods used in both this Letter and A. Álvarez and B. Carreras, Phys. Lett. 85A, 327 (1981), is proved by A. Álvarez, Kuo Pen-Yu, and L. Vázquez, "The Numerical Study of a Nonlinear One-Dimensional Dirac Equation" (to be published).
