2047ln some recent models for hadron-nucleus collisions at high energies, it is assumed that only Ae nucleons in the nucleus with mass number A interact as "a big hadron" with the incident hadron and the residual A-Ae nucleons pass through as spectators. In this paper, two alternative formulae to calculate the distribution of the effective mass number Ae or its average l under a reasonable approximation. A confusion recently raised by considering that Ae=v is thereby settled. § I. IntroductionIt has recently been proposed by several authors that, in hadron (h) -nucleus (A) collisions at high energies, only Ae nucleons in the nucleus with mass number A interact as "a big hadron" with the incident hadron and the residual A-Ae nucleons pass through as spectators.1)~4J The idea is illustrated in Figs. 1 (a) and (b), which show the situation just before and after the collision, respectively. The effective mass number Ae is the number of the constituent nucleons which are contained in a tube of radius Pn along the path of the incident hadron. A theoretical estimate of the mean effective mass number
