Gravity observations during the solar eclipse of February 15, 1961, failed to detect an associated gravitational signal and indicated that the ‘Majorana gravitational absorption coefficient’ if any, is probably less than 8.3×10¹⁶ cm² g⁻¹ or at the 95% confidence limit less than 2.6×10⁻¹⁵. This limit is of the same order of magnitude as those recently reported in the literature, but appears to be more strongly supported by statistical analysis of the observations. It seems to be too small to produce effects detectable by present methods.
