Let C denote the complex algebra of continuous functions of a non-negative real variable under addition, scalar multiplication and convolution. C has no divisors of zero and its quotient field F is called the field of Mikusiński operators [1]. It is well known that Mikusiński has defined a sequential convergence in F which is not topological [2]. Using a recent result due to T.K. Boehem [3] we shall provide F with a sequential convergence which is topological.
