The pressure and density values measured by Venera 9 and 10 in the altitude range 40-90 km in the atmosphere of Venus are compared with the values obtained by using Pitts' (1968) program for six different chemical compositions and a single set of assumed surface values and distribution for 0-40 km. For four of the compositions there is a range of altitudes where the calculations are in essential agreement with the measurements, but none is in agreement with measurements in the whole range 40-90 km. In these four compositions the percentage of CO2 is at least 97 percent. There are some altitude ranges for which no composition gives the same pressure and density as the measured data.
