The differential and integral range spectra of the hard component of cosmic rays in water and lead have been determined up to a thickness of 1500 g cm?2 of water, and 2800 g cm?2 of lead. The differential results indicate that there is no anomaly with an intensity greater than 5 per cent. in the differential momentum spectrum in the region below 4 BeV/c.

A direct determination has been made of the cosmic ray spectrum underground at a depth of 38 m. w. e. under Castle Rock, Nottingham. The spectrum is based on measurements of 1010 particles traversing a magnetic spectrograph having a maximum detectable momentum of 8 GeV/ c . By comparing this spectrum with the ground-level spectrum the energy loss of fast μ -mesons in penetrating the 38 m. w. e. of rock has been determined. It is shown that the energy loss for μ -mesons in the momentum range 7 to 15 GeV/ c is as expected by theory, the collision process being responsible for most of the loss.
