Procedures employed in the collection of atmospheric dust during the interval 1 October to 20 November, 1946, are described. Details are given on the microscope technique used in the examination of the dust collected. From an analysis of the results obtained, arguments are adduced favoring the hypothesis that certain of the dust particles collected were of cosmic origin.
