A direct determination of uranium content in some tens of water samples of the Indian Ocean was carried out. It is found that the uranium content in the central areas of the ocean is on the average 1.8 x 10/sup -6/ g/l. In the southwestern pant, the content is somewhat higher (1.0 x 10/sup -8/ g/l). By calculation the concentration of thorium (1.0 x 10/sup -8/ g/l) and of ionium (6 x 10/sup -13/ g/l) in the central pant of the ocean, where a distinct disturbance of the radioactive equilibrium is established rn the uranium family with a considerable ionium deficrency compared to uranium, was estimated.
