In this paper a method is presented to extend the electron density distribution to levels well below that corresponding to the threshold frequency of an ionogram using both the ordinary and the extraordinary ray traces. The routine procedure for doing this is considerably simplified, if certain constants which are fixed for a given station are evaluated beforehand. A flow chart adoptable for an IBM 1620 computer programme has been prepared. An example of a typical early morning ionogram has been presented in some detail. Various features of night-time ionization have been brought out using the analysis of hourly records taken on a winter night. It is noted that the real altitude corresponding to the base of the ionosphere is on an average too high by about 50 km over what would have been apparently estimated from the ordinary ray trace alone. Further, these errors in the true height estimate are seen to increase towards sunrise reaching values as high as 80 km, the minimum being close to 35 km shortly before sunset.
