Abstract
The flux of primary cosmic-ray heavy nuclei has been measured with a sandwich of and emulsions near the island of Guam, magnetic latitude 4°N. The emulsions were exposed at about 101 000 ft for 7.3 hours and the calculated fluxes at the top of the atmoshpere in particles/-sec-sr were found to be:
