Abstract
Penetrating showers produced in lead have been observed in a large cloud chamber at sea level and 3027 meters. Observations made on the showers include frequency of occurrence, multiplicity, angular distribution, and production of high energy electrons. An attempt is made to compare the numerical data obtained with predictions of various meson theories, assuming that the events are produced by high energy nucleons.
