Attention is given to the detailed structure of the gap near the helium cyclotron frequency which has been noted in the statistical distribution of electromagnetic cyclotron wave frequencies encountered at synchronous altitudes. At most, 2/3 of the gap, constituting the high frequency portion, is due to linear dispersion effects, and it is suggested that the remaining 1/3 of the gap which constitutes the low frequency portion emerges as a result of nonlinear, off-resonant absorption of the waves by means of near cyclotron resonance with singly-charged helium ions.
