Abstract
Ney and Pepin1 inferred from the photometry of a stellar photograph from Gemini 9 that “either Link's layer does not exist at all or it is at lower altitude than 80 km”. I should like, therefore, to point out that I arrived at the second alternative of their conclusion as early as the year 1948, on the basis of a comparison of extinction and twilight phenomena2. This conclusion is also to be found in my review work3.
