Abstract: The structure set $S{T}^{TOP}(M)$ of an $n$-dimensional topological manifold $M$ for $ngeqslant5$ has a homotopy invariant functorial abelian group structure, by the algebraic version of the Browder-Novikov-Sullivan-Wall surgery theory. An element $(N,f)inS{T}^{TOP}(M)$ is an equivalence class of $n$-dimensional manifolds $N$ with a homotopy equivalence $f:NoM$. The composition formula is that $(P,fg)=(N,f)+f_{\ast }(P,g)inS{T}^{TOP}(M)$ for homotopy equivalences $g:PoN$, $f:NoM$. The formula is required for a paper of Kreck and L"uck.
