18. By pure ergodicity, we mean ergodicity within the energy surface in the phase space.
19. It can be noticed that energy equipartition is a necessary but not sufficient condition for ergodicity. See. for instance, O. Penrose, The Foundations of Statistical Mechanics (Pergamon Press, New York, 1970).
