A lower bound on Δm2 for atmospheric neutrino oscillations can be obtained from the global value of R at a given energy. This bound may be more reliable than one based on the observed isotropy. Some global values of R imply an anisotropy in the neutrino flux that may, or may not be manifest in the observed neutrino interactions. A limit of Δm2>0.0077 eV2 is easily obtained. Much higher mass scales are implied by the reported energy independence and magnitude of R
