Abstract
It is shown that the large barometer effect of penetrating showers can be understood in terms of an exponential absorption of the primaries giving rise to the showers. A number of other experimental results favour such an assumption. It is shown further that the exponential absorption of the primaries is compatible wdth the theory of Hamilton, Heitler & Peng when account is taken of fluctuations.
