IT was found for the first time by Clay1 on voyages between Holland and Java that the intensity of cosmic radiation has a minimum in the neighbourhood of the magnetic equator. The extensive survey directed by Compton2 confirmed the existence of this `latitude effect' and showed it to be more pronounced at higher altitude. More accurate results at sea-level are due to an investigation of Clay and Berlage3. As this again refers to the line from Holland to Java, I thought it would be worth while to perform analogous measurements on a trip from Holland to South Africa. During this investigation Hoerlin4 published results he obtained on the line Peru-Strait of Magellan-Hamburg. These results and those of the other authors as given by Clay are represented in Fig. 1 by continuous curves, my own results by open circles. Clearly the latter lie somewhat closer to Clay's curve than to Hoerlin's.
