A simple procedure is described for the detection and correction of nonlinearity in x-ray proportional counters. This procedure is shown to be superior to the simple version of the multiple foil method. Under typical working conditions a General Electric 1 SPG counter was found to be linear (to within 0.03%) up to 4000 counts/sec.
