The paper reports the flux and energy spectra of cosmic gamma-rays in the 1.5-100 TeV range. Data were obtained from a 134.4 sq m emulsion chamber exposed at the top of Mt. Fuji for 317 days. One part of the chamber was 6 cascade units thick and measured in the 15-100 TeV range; this spectrum is consistent with the more accurate data obtained by the part 14 cascade units thick in the 1.5-20 TeV range. A mathematical expression for the spectrum is presented. Chamber design and detection methods are described, the determination of the energy associated with gamma-ray showers is explained, and the flux and energy spectra of gamma-rays are calculated.
