Abstract: (Elsevier)

We explicitly solve the constraints of the superfield supergravity formalism of Wess and Zumino, for an arbitrary gauge, in terms of superfields. Wess and Zumino's action turns out to be identical to one of a class of actions found earlier by the author: the one with the minimal set of auxiliary fields. We also show how to write chiral Lagrangians, including the cosmological term and the Lagrangian for conformal supergravity.
