Abstract
In a recent paper DUVRE]~ and GOLDBERG (1967) derive, from the extreme ultraviolet spectrum, a coronal abundance of iron relative to silicon, which is in agreement with the photospheric value, whereas POTTASCH (1967) and JORDAN (1966) have shown that the abundance of iron relative to silicon is an order of magnitude greater in the corona than in the photosphere. In the present note the reasons for this difference are examined and it is shown that Dupree and Goldberg have been led to an incorrect solution. The present authors have shown that use of all the available data leads to a high abundance of iron. However, Dupree and Goldberg choose to neglect the majority
