S>A multiplate cloud chamber was eontrolled by G-M counters and photographs in which the dii ections oi the shower axes could be determined a) from the directions of one or more energetic particles or b) from the directions of parallel particles were selected. From the distribution of the projected zenith angles of the shower axes the following values of the attenuation length (A) were obtained: a) LAMBDA =85=5 gcm/sup -2/, and b) LAMBDA = 101 plus or minus 8 gcm/sup -2/.
