On closer investiga-tion, we may establish therefrom thefact that these oscillations of the solarconstant stand in a relation with thevariations of the corresponding co-ethcients of transmission of the earthsatmosphere: large values of the solarconstant correspond to small valuesfor the coefficients of transmissionand vice versa. To investigate this in a more gen-eral manner the corresponding resultsfor white hght for other observers arecompared. The same relation cameout in case of the observers between1902 and 1907 at Washington; alsobetween 1905 and 1912 at MountWilson, California, and from 1911 to1912 at Bassour in Algeria.^ Fig. 2 represents graphically theobservations which were made for thepurpose of clearing up the nature ofthe short-period variations of thesolar constant, which were obtainedsimultaneously in 1911 and 1912 atMoun
