Magnetically forbidden cosmic particles in the energy range 50 to 170 MeV/nucleon were measured in experiment 1ESO24 during the first Spacelab mission. In that energy range 749 particles with nuclear charge between 10 and 26 were measured. The calibration of the detectors with a 56 Fe beam shows a resolution of 0.37 charge units per etching cone. The incidence time of 365 particles was determined with an accuracy of + or - 1 min. The orbits of 39 particles in the Earth magnetic field were reconstructed, using the magnetic field model of Mead and Fairfield. Assuming complete ionization, 18 particles were determined as magnetically forbidden; they show a north-south anisotropy (only 3 were measured at northern latitudes); only 3 particles were measured during the day. The origin of the magnetically forbidden particles cannot be clearly explained.
