Attention is given to the consequences of applying the assumption that the mass flux through Titan's atmosphere is independent of height to the Tomasko and Smith (1982) model for Voyager polarization measurements. It is noted that one of the assumptions of the constant flux model must be altered, in order to render it consistent with both the polarization data and the observed equivalent widths of the methane bands. Allowing for the possibility of two chemically different aerosols may explain not only why the ethylene polymers are not seen in the main haze, but also the composition of the detached haze layer.
