Abstract
SINCE the appearance of Nova Herculis in December last year, a number of notes have appeared in various scientific journals dealing with a possible effect of the nova on the intensity of cosmic rays, but the conclusions arrived at by different observers have been rather conflicting. It seems, therefore, desirable to examine as many observations as possible at different places and with different types of apparatus. The data obtained by means of a photographically recording Kolhörster electrometer of the latest type which was kept in continuous action at the Solar Physics Observatory, Cambridge, during the period from February 14 until March 20, appear to confirm Kolhörster's observations made with Geiger-Müller counters.
