Using the shell model of nuclei the total muon absorption rates in Cl/ sup 35/ and Cl/sup 37/ were calculated. This calculation yields the right isotope effect'' in the absorption of muons by chlorine (whereas Primakoff's theory in which a homogeneous nuclear matter model is assumed predicts an incorrect value). As the energy, being transferred to the absorbing nucleus, does not essentially exceed 10 Mev, only the protons outside the /sub 8/O/sup 16/- core will contribute to the absorption by Cl/sup 37/. The calculation was done including and omitting the weak magnetic interaction'' and for positive and negative sign of pseudoscalar coupling. The theoretical prediction (C/sub p//C/ sub A/) > 0 was confirmed by comparison of the computed absorption rates in Cl/ sup 37/ with experiment, but the conserved vector current'' hypothesis could not be checked.
