    Let K be a trace class operator on \(L^ 2(X,{\mathcal M},\mu)\) with integral kernel \(K(x,y)\in L^ 2(X\times X,\mu \times \mu)\). An averaging process is used to define K on the diagonal in \(X\times X\) so that the trace of K is equal to the integral of K(x,x), generalizing results known previously for continuous kernels. This is also shown to hold for positive-definite Hilbert-Schmidt operators, thus giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the traceability of positive integral kernels and generalize previous results obtained by the author using Hardy-Littlewood maximal theory when \(X\subset {\mathbb{R}}^ n\).
