A pronounced peak in the rates of stratorpheric fall-out of Sr/sup 89/ and Sr/sup 90/ was observed at Fayetteville. Arkansas, during the spring months of 1959. A large increase of the stratospheric Sr/sup 90/ inventory due to the fall 1958 test series was indicated. The changing ratios of isotopes in fall-out indicate that it is unlikely that the spring peaks are attributable solely to high-yield Soviet autumn tests. (auth)
