N2 - We point out an intriguing relation between the masses of the transiting planets and their orbital periods. For the six currently known transiting planets, the data are consistent with a decreasing linear relation. The other known short-period planets, discovered through radialvelocity techniques, seem to agree with this relation. We briefly speculate about a tentative physical model to explain such a dependence.
