Abstract
This paper considers the different determinations of the proton charge radi us, It is demonstrates that the results from the elastic electron-proton sc attering have to be assigned a higher uncertainty. A review of the hydrogen Lamb-shift measurements and the radius determination from them is also pre sented.
