Abstract
Riemannian Manifolds may be and the geometry of these manifolds is investigated in \cite{Groah1}. Here, a similar analysis is given for pseudohermitian, torsion-free manifolds whereby, instead of assuming that the metric is parallel, it is assumed that the metric is pseudohermitian, a condition adopted by Einstein and elaborated upon in \cite{Hlavaty}. At the level of regularity assumed here, Einstein's formulation of the pseudohermitian condition is not tensorial and so a reformulation of this condition is given here. It is shown that a manifold is pseudohermitian and torsion-free if and only if it is Riemannian.
