Abstract
IN view of the well-established decay of the mesotron and of the magnitude of the sea-level latitude effect, it is now certain that all mesotrons found have been produced in the atmosphere.It is therefore of great interest to measure their intensities at different heights, particularly at levels where they may be expected to have been produced.
