      This note proposes a new statistics for classical statistical mechanics which is different from Boltzmann statistics. In the new statistics, the particles can be regarded as distinguishable as well as indistinguishable depending on the aspect of the system of particles that we are interested in. It introduces a distribution of Bose-Einstein type into the classical statistical mechanics and explains the Gibbs paradox: If the number of particles is greater than the maximal number, then the velocity of the ``superfluous'' particles turns out to be much less than the mean velocity of particles in the gas.
