Abstract
FOR various problems in meteorology and physics, it is of importance to know the composition of the earth's atmosphere at all heights. The most direct approach, namely, chemical analysis by laboratory methods, depends on our ability to obtain the samples ; the few stratosphere flights by manned balloons have collected air specimens up to 22 km., while pilot balloons have brought back several samples from heights between 25 and 29 km.1.
