The actual distribution of inclinations of chromospheric spicules with respect to the normal to the solar surface is calculated from the observed distribution of these angles. Sixty-two per cent of the spicules are calculated to have an inclination within 10 deg of 25 deg. If one supposes that the spicules are guided in their movement by the sun's magnetic field, then these results constitute a direct access to the direction of the magnetic field in the lower corona and in the transitional region between the chromosphere and the corona.
