Abstract.
The paper [3] contains an upper bound to the weighted density of a packing of circles on the unit sphere with radii from a given finite set. This bound is attained by many packings and has applications to problems of solidity. In the present note it is shown that a certain condition imposed on the set of admissible radii can be removed by modifying the original proof of the theorem.
