Abstract
MEASUREMENTS have been made on the surface distribution of 1,230 stars on 54 sq. in. of 100 µ C2 plates loaded with boron, exposed for 40 days at 3,650 m. elevation. Observations on the star frequency in 1 in. × ½ in. rectangles of plate area show that, by comparison with the appropriate Poisson distribution, the stars are randomly distributed over areas of these dimensions.
