The X-ray properties of a cluster of galaxies subsample of the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey is described. A summary of this sample and its implication has been presented previously; this paper gives the full details. The cluster subsample is 98.4 percent identified and contains 93 X-ray-selected clusters to a redshift of 0.58. The cluster X-ray luminosity function at three cosmic epochs is derived. While the present luminosity function agrees with previous determinations at the lowest redshifts, it is found that the volume density of high-luminosity clusters is greater now than it was in the past. The normalization, shape, and time dependence of the luminosity function can be described by a simple hierarchical formation model with parameters which also describe the temperature function of an independent sample of low-redshift clusters. In this model the comoving hot gas density remains constant with time at least to redshifts of order 0.35.
