Very high resolution, high dispersion observations of super-metal-rich stars were made using the 1.4-m coude auxiliary telescope (CAT) at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) at La Silla. Lines belonging to the A-squared Pi X-squared Sigma(+) system of MgH at 5153 A were observed. High signal/noise ratio spectra were obtained in order to determine the ratios of the abundances of Mg-25 and Mg-26 relative to the abundance of Mg-24. The ratios of the three Mg isotopes obtained for the super-metal-rich stars are compared to those for galactic cosmic rays. The results are discussed in terms of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy.
