Conditions for X_{N_n} to converge stably (in particular, in distribution) are provided. Some examples, where such conditions work but those already existing fail, are given as well. %O Proceedings of the XXV International Seminar on Stability Problems for Stochastic Models, Maiori (Salerno), Italy, September 20?24, 2005. %V 196 %I Springer %P 15-22 %T An Anscombe-type theorem
