Abstract
BURSTS of cosmic radiation were observed in an ionisation vessel 14 cm. diameter and 27 cm. high, filled with carbon dioxide at 10 atmospheres pressure, and completely surrounded by 10 cm. of lead. The sizes of the bursts were estimated as ranging between 35 and 1,800 rays, while the average frequency was 0.88 per hour, with a maximum of four bursts occurring in any one hour.
