The effects of solar-cosmic-ray propagation on the hydrogen-to-helium ratio are investigated, including the variation of this ratio with solar wind velocity and location in space. The analysis is based on the dimensional solution of the propagation equation of solar cosmic rays in interplanetary space and employs the equivalent diffusion coefficient determined from observed data on solar protons. After the elimination of variations with solar distance and energy from HEOS and Pioneer data collected by Perron et al. (1978), the ratio is found to increase with the magnetic longitude of the parent flare. The initial value of this ratio at the solar surface, obtained after making corrections for propagation, is close to the value in the solar wind.
