The total mass of the Milky-Way dark corona and its contribution to the total mass of the Galaxy, is estimated by combining the limits imposed by the Local Group as probably bound and the constraints on the local escape velocity. The results: total mass of the Milky Way about 1.6 TM⊙ (dark corona over 1.5 TM⊙; T = 1012), local escape velocity about 600 kms−1.
