A bstract Let Oxyz be a system of rectangular axes with origin at the earth's surface and with the z axis pointing vertically downwards. If a body B lies wholly] between the planes z = h , z = I then for all x, y and for n = 1, 2, 3 it is proved thatwhere a = h / d , β= l / d and K is the gravitational constant. D n are very easily computed from the Bouger anomaly and J n are tabulated in this paper.
