Abstract

Prompt publication of brief reports of important twentieth of the preceding month; for the second discoveries in physics may be secured by addressing issue, the fifth of the month. The Board of Editors them to this department.

A Possible Explanation of the Frequency Distribution of Sizes of Hoffmann Stosse The cloud chamber photographs of Blackett and Occhi- alini, Anderson, and Locher' have brought to light the suggestion that Hoffmann Stdsse may not originate in a single atom, but may arise from several atoms as the result of a primary cosmic ray acting through intermediaries. Each of these observers finds groups of ray tracks, appa- rently all formed simultaneously.
