TEXT: Calculations are reported on the barometric coefficients of
the neutron component of cosmic rays, based on experimental data ob-
tained at Irkutsk and Deep River. The average value of the barome-
tric coefficient for 1958 - 1959 is p,= -(0.69 ? 0.01) %/ml. A sea-
sonal variation was established for the barometric coefficient with,
a maximum in the summer (0.73 %/mb) and a minimum in the, winter
(0.65 f/mb). [Abstractor's note: Complete translation].'

ABSTRACT: In the years 1950 - 1956 a group of the Irkutekoy geofizicheskoy
observatorii (Irkutsk Geophysical Observatory) at Baykal carried
out measuremen s of the terrestrial fiel . ese measurements
were carried out by recording the variation of the earth poten-.
tial.by means of a measuring instrument consisting of two di-
poles, which were erected in the meridional and latitudinal
directions. The two measurements shown by figure 1, which were
carried out simultaneously at Baykal and in Bol'shoy Ushkan:'t:a
showed a simultaneous variation of the electrotellurium-field
at both points. Figure 2 shows a measurement of a short-period
oscillation of the electrotellurium field. The amplitude of the
irregular oscillations amounted to an average of 250 - 300 my/km
and, in the case of strong perturbations, it exceeded 500 my/km.
The maximum gradient of the constant. variation of this field
is 98 my/km..The direction of the resulting electrotellurian

within the Listvenichnyy rayon:. as amounting to 45-6o0 . When
investigating the causes-of these phenomena it is shown that
little is as yet known about this region, that the water of
Baykal Lake has a low electric conductivity, and that the earth
current. in this region has a strength which is near that above
the water. In conclusion, the influence of geological formations
is investigated, in which connection papers by G. Yu. Vereshcha-
gin and V. V. Lamakin are mentioned. There are 3 figures, 2
tables, and 5 Soviet references.

S.V. Medvedev (Institut fiziki Zemli AN SSSR -.Institute
of Terrestrial P sits ,c.S .USSi described the modern
trends in seismic divisions in Russia and abroad. He
listed the main' drawbacks of the present division maps of
the USSR prepared in 1957 and suggested ways of improvement.
B.A. Petrushevskiy (Institute of Terrestrial Physics,
Ac.Sc.USSR) read the paper about the relation between
the earthquakes of maximum intensity and geological
conditions. The author was working on seismic properties
of both the Asian alpine and the Asian plateau regions,
those of the Paleozoic base. He observed that

HEADING:
Main Geophysical Observatory at the Beginning of the IGY
N. P. Rusin, chief of the Methods Division of the Main Geophysical
Observatory imeni Voyeykov, discusses the activity at the observatory at
the time of the opening of the IGY as follows.
SOURCE:
(Znaniye-Sila, No 9, Sep 57, p 24+)
Before the official opening of the ,I_G.Y~ associates of eight stations
conducing observations on atmospheric e el ctricity met in Leningrad. Some
of these stations, Murmansk, Leningra ev, and Odessa, are located along
a meridian, and others, Sverdlovsk, rkutsk Tashkent, and Yuzhno-Sakhalin,
deployed in a latitude direction. In Leningrad, the associates of these
stations received new and unique instruments especially made for the IGY
and learned how to use them. These instruments permit not only the measure-
ment. of the intensity of the electrical field of clouds, but also the re-
cording of the number of electrical charges in a cloud, the determination
of the time nnterval between discharges during which the charge is built up
again in the cloud and a flash of lightning occurs.
