In this note it is shown that a recently found theorem [ Booker et al. , 1968] relating the reflexion coefficients for electromagnetic scattering from a variety of stratified media to each other in a simple way is inapplicable in cases where a static magnetic field is present. Calculations of VLF propagation in the lower ionosphere can therefore not be simplified by a utilization of the above‐mentioned theorem.
