Values for the shear stress τ0 of the wind on a water surface, found in seven later experiments, are compared with the data of Francis (1951). Four sets of the new data show that the stress coefficient C = τ0/ϱu2 is not constant, but that it increases somewhat with windspeed u (ϱ = air density). Three sets merely show a large experimental scatter of C, and do not support any consistent law of drag. A theory is also discussed that τ0 is mainly caused by the drag of the small ripples, and not by the drag of the big waves.
