Four hundred interactions of cosmic ray nuclei of Z not less than 8 in nuclear emulsion have been studied. The nuclei have E greater than 7.5 GeV/n and a mean energy of 21 GeV/nucleon. The mean meson multiplicity is 11.9 for these nucleus-emulsion collisions compared to 6.0 for proton-emulsion interactions at 22.5 GeV. The angular distributions of emitted particles show some interesting effects. There is a statistically significant excess of mesons emitted in close pairs and groups with separation angles less than 5 deg. One to two percent of the interactions also show meson emission in 'fans' or 'jets'.
