Abstract: From the Bargmann-Wigner equation in coordinate representation, a convenient form of field equations for arbitrary spin, which are similar to the Rarita-Schwinger equations for arbitrary half integral spin, is derived rigorously. The method used here is to expand the completely symmetric multispinor field with symmetric matrices and a tensor or tensor-spinor field. Meanwhile, the Lagrangian functions for fields with arbitrary integral and half integral spin are given respectively.
