The light curve of the mutual occultation of the Jovian satellites J-2 and J-1 was obtained with the aid of a photoelectric photometer, and the data were used to determine the radii of the satellites. The calculation method used assumed uniform brightness for the disk of J-1 and previous knowledge of the ephemeris values. Theoretical series of light curves giving the luminous flux emitted by J-2 as a function of the time during its occultation were calculated for several pairs of values for the satellites' radii. The curve which most resembled the experimental curve gave the correct values of the radii. The values found are: radius of J-1 - 1,830 km; radius of J-2 - 1,457 km. These values are within the limits of errors of the classical values.-
