✦ Synopsis

Seven years data from underground muon telescopes are analyzed for components of 24hOOm, fBh66m, 23h62m, 24h04m, and 24hOSm mean solar time. Repeatable daily time-count profiles are obtained for the first two periods. Their count amplitudes are respectively 0.187 and 0.098 per cent. Both components have standard errors of 0.002 per cent. The last three periods gave amplitudes less than 0.02 per cent. The 24hOOm period has a sharp maximum near 16 hour local time. The 2Sh66m period has a broad * The JOURNAL publishes, from time to time, contributions by distinguished recipients of awards by The Franklin Institute. These may be original research papers, review or tutorial articles. The present author was awarded an Elliot Creason Medal in 1963, for his pioneering achievements in the field of radio astronomy.
