ACCURATE observations on cosmic ray intensities as measured by Neher electroscopes have been made in the equatorial belt (Madras, India, mag. lat. 3° N.) and in San Antonio, Texas (mag. lat. 38·5° N.) up to between 98 and 99 per cent of the way to the top of the atmosphere. The most significant results of these measurements may be summarized as follows:
