Extreme ultraviolet observations of the chromospheric network in a coronal hole obtained in 1973 by the Harvard College Observatory experiment aboard Skylab are analyzed. Upper and lower limits to the actual emission measure in UV spicules have been obtained, and the consistency of the derived values with the hypothesis that UV spicules are Hα spicules falling back after being heated is discussed.
