Abstract
Further experiments on the Čerenkov radiation produced by extensive air showers in the atmosphere are described. The integral pulse-height distribution of the light pulses is found to fit closely a power law. The variation in rate of firing of a Geiger counter falls off slowly with distance from the lightreceiver. Although the pulse-height distribution is a broad one, it is found that, in general, the larger light pulses are associated with the higher energy showers. The variation in pulse rate with zenith and azimuth angle of a light-receiver has been studied, and the receivers have been used for searching areas of sky for possible point sources of cosmic radiation.
