Results on the diffuse gamma ray flux between 1.5 and 10 Mev from a balloon-borne double Compton telescope are presented. The cosmic gamma ray flux is determined from the flattening of the growth curve near the top of the atmosphere. Corrections have to be made for inelastic neutron-carbon interactions in the scintillator which cause part of the flattening. The gamma counting rate from regions of the sky with galactic latitudes between b (II) = 0 deg, and b (II) = - 30 degrees is constant within statistics. From this constancy, an extragalactic origin can be deduced for more than 77% of the measured diffuse flux.
