Abstract
The statistical bootstrap models of Hagedorn and Frautschi, modified so that the volume of a hadron is allowed to vary with the temperature, are considered. It is shown that a large class of polynomial solutions for the level density of hadrons is possible. A feature common to polynomial spectra is that the volume of a hadron must vanish as the temperature approaches infinity. The requirement that hadrons have a finite size implies both a maximum temperature and an exponential hadron mass spectrum. Also, the recent formulation in terms of quasiparticles demands an exponential hadron mass spectrum without requiring an asymptotic bootstrap condition. A unique solution, $\ensuremath{\rho}(m)\ensuremath{\sim}{m}^{\frac{\ensuremath{-}5}{2}}{e}^{m\ensuremath{\beta}}$ as $m\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$, is obtained if one assumes the asymptotic bootstrap condition of Hagedorn.
