Abstract
Within the ``anisotropic relaxation time'' approach to transport processes, I obtain a new geometric formula for the weak-field Hall conductivity of metals, which generalizes previously-known formulas due to Tsuji (restricted to cubic 3D metals) and Ong (for 2D metals).

4 pages, 1 figure; minor modification to emphasize that the 2nd form of the expression as an integral in l-space is inspired by Ong's 2D work
