The present status of observations of the diffuse cosmic X-rays is discussed. The energy spectrum in the energy range 1–100 keV has been well established. The flux around 0.25 keV appears to be rather high. The basis of the classical argument that the integration of normal galaxies in the universe is not sufficient to explain the diffuse X-ray flux is re-examined. Recent observations around 0.25 keV are discussed and results are compiled.
