Cooke, Griffiths and Pounds1 have recently detected an increase of intensity of the cosmic X-ray background in directions close to the galactic plane, indicating the possible existence of a diffuse galactic X-ray component. The similarity of this galactic component, in both intensity and spectrum, to the general isotropic background would tend to suggest a possible causal connexion. This report argues that interstellar dust occurring near the galactic plane would scatter the isotropic background so as to produce the observed phenomenon.
