We provide, for any r∈ (0,1), lower and upper bounds on the maximal density of a packing in the Euclidean plane of discs of radius 1 and r. The lower bounds are mostly folk, but the upper bounds improve the best previously known ones for any r∈[0.11,0.74]. For many values of r, this gives a fairly good idea of the exact maximum density. In particular, we get new intervals for r which does not allow any packing more dense that the hexagonal packing of equal discs.
