Abstract
The contribution to the main detector counting rate from photons scattered and reemitted from the collimator walls is considered in two particular cases, that of our group's old S-11 rocket data and OSO-III. We find that the S-11 results are not changed appreciably white our consideration of the OSO-III results has lead us to the belief that these results should be strongly modified.
