Abstract
BURSTS of ionisation produced by cosmic rays have been studied up to now in large ionisation chambers filled with a gas at high pressure. We found it advantageous to use for this purpose ionisation chambers filled with a very carefully purified liquid dielectric.

One of us has recently made a detailed study of the mobility of ions in liquid paraffins: I. Adamczewski, Bull. Int. Acad. Polonaise, 217; 1934. The existence in these liquids of three sorts of ions of different mobilities was discovered.
More details will be given in a paper appearing in a forthcoming issue of Bull. Int. Acad. Polonaise.
