Abstract
IN the course of a two-month gravity survey of the Western Rift Valley of Africa, several stations of the Duclaux–Martin1 African base network were re-occupied in order to calibrate the meter used. The results indicate a linear relation between the corrected readings of the present survey and the Duclaux–Martin gravity values to a high degree of precision.
