The procedure for calculation of the interaction ranges of electrons and ..gamma.. rays proposed by Messel and Crawford (Electron-Photon Shower Distribution Functions, Pergamon Press, 1970) for homogeneous semi-infinite media is generalized to include the case of layered and chemically inhomogeneous materials. The correctness of the proposed improved procedure is verified by comparing the calculated efficiency of electron detection with the ''Anna-3'' telescope (Volobuev et al, Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Fiz. 34, 2259 (1970)), with the data obtained by calibrating this instrument with accelerators.
