  This paper studies eigenvalues of the clamped plate problem on a bounded
domain in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. We give an estimate for the gap
between $\sqrt {\Gamma_{k+1}-\Gamma_{1}}$ and $\sqrt {\Gamma_{k}-\Gamma_{1}}$,
for any positive integer $k$. According to the asymptotic formula of Agmon and
Pleijel, we know, the gap between $\sqrt {\Gamma_{k+1}-\Gamma_{1}}$ and $\sqrt
{\Gamma_{k}-\Gamma_{1}}$ is bounded by a term with a lower order $k^{\frac1n}$
in the sense of the asymptotic formula of Agmon and Peijel, where $\Gamma_j$
denotes the $j^{^{\text{th}}}$ eigenvalue of the clamped plate problem.
