Scientific paper

Pulsars are asymmetrically distributed perpendicular to the galactic plane. While their number decreases smoothly with the increasing distance above the plane, it varies irregularly below. There is a deficiency of pulsars with z(kpc) between -0.2 and zero, and an excess with z between -0.6 and -0.3 compared to the numbers expected on the basis of the distribution above the plane. A high-density electron layer placed about 50 pc below the galactic plane can explain the irregularity. The product of the excess density and the thickness of the layer needed to explain the irregularity is about 6/cu cm pc.
