Abstract
This note indicates two alternative proofs for a result of Galambos and Seneta [1] on the distribution of ratios of successive record times in a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. Some consequences of one method of proof are discussed, and its analogues in a continuous time setting are described.Keywords
