The intensity of the diffuse component of cosmic X-rays was measured with use of a rotating collimator system borne on a sounding rocket. A part of background counts proportional to the field of view of proportional counters enabled us to determine the intensity of the diffuse component to be 0.66±0.07 photons cm-2 sec-1 keV-1 in the energy range between 3.6 and 9.0 keV. The spectrum in this energy range was found to be comparatively flat. The intensity of Sco X-1 was also measured and its time variation was investigated.
