Abstract
It is shown from an account of the detailed behaviour of the spectra of the electrons in the process of their diffusion, and from energy losses, that there must exist an extensive radio-halo around the Galaxy, with a volume luminosity close to that of the disc. The nature of the dependence of the spectral index of the radiation on the direction of observation is elucidated. This dependence must be accounted for when separating radiations of the disk and halo with the aid of the method proposed by Webster.
