Summary Free air and Bouguer anomalies are given for 22 stations on Malta. A density of 2.25 g/c. c. is used for the Bouguer reductions on the basis of density measurements on five samples. In the second part of the paper discussion is made of the best Potsdam values for No. 3 dock Malta and at Tunis airport. The adopted values are shown to be consistent, within the rather low accuracy of the connections, with values accepted in Sicily.
