Abstract
As Prof. F. A. Paneth and Mr. E. Glüekauf1 have mentioned our researches2 upon the composition of the stratosphere, we think it useful to specify some points concerning the amounts of helium. Our conclusions deal only with the sum helium + neon, these two gases not being separated one from the other. In our researches we have tried to determine especially the content of oxygen, of nitrogen and of argon, and we obtained the contents of helium + neon only incidentally. In fact, as we have previously stated, we have not measured the helium + neon in all our samples, and as we also stated, we have mixed for that measurement samples from near altitudes. It was, therefore, only as an indication that we gave our figures.
