First edition in the scarce offprint issue. In this short paper they investigated cosmic rays, and it was published a year before their famous paper on the Artificial Production of Radioactive Elements.

"Iréne Joliot-Curie’s fame stems principally from the discoveries she made with her husband, Frédéric Joliot, particularly that of artificial radioactivity, for which they shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1935. Yet her own investigations on the radioelements produced by the irradiation of uranium with neutrons were sufficiently important to secure her a position among the great modern scientists."(DSB).
