Abstract

A

Let be a system of rectangular axes with origin at the earth's surface and with the axis pointing vertically downwards. If a body lies wholly] between the planes =, = then for all x, y and for = 1, 2, 3 it is proved that

where =/, β=/ and is the gravitational constant. D are very easily computed from the Bouger anomaly and J are tabulated in this paper.
