The concept of {\it active gravitational mass}, its definition and its relation with the sources of a gravitational field, was clearly established by Tolman in 1934. On the contrary, and surprisingly in our opinion, the concept of {\it proper mass} has remained obscure in General relativity. We compare a new definition to an apparent more obvious one and discuss how each choice modifies the ratio of active to proper gravitational mass.
