Abstract
In a previous paper (see ibid., vol.10, p.843 (1977)), the authors drew attention to the likelihood of the intensity of cosmic ray positrons being lower than expected on the basis of the simply 'leaky box' model of particle containment. It is pointed out that in order to explain the data on cosmic ray positrons it is necessary to assume that the local cosmic rays are collected from a volume comparable with the size of the Galaxy. A specific model is proposed which is in agreement with existing experimental data on cosmic rays in the energy interval considered: 1-100 GeV.
