A rayless graph is an infinite graph which contains no infinite path. \textit{R. Diestel} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 56, No. 2, 263-277 (1992; Zbl 0780.05013)] gave a beautiful description of rayless graphs by showing that they decompose into finite \(k\)-connected graphs in a tree-like manner. In the paper under review a new and short proof of the above result is given.
