*Determined by use of a 10 by 10 matrix.

Recent measurement of the rainfall atmospheric washout near
Hattiesburg, Miss., shows fission debris from the Nov. 16, 1964, test

by Communist China. About 157 mc/sq mile of “°Ba—'°La and 30 mc/
sq mile of *Zr—*°Nb washed out in the rains of Oct. 27 and 28, 1964.

Also, there is an indication of dry fallout of “°Ba—'°La prior to
October 27 as seen in Fig. 20.
