Gamma-ray observations of the April 27, 1981 flare have been used to derive elemental abundances of both the ambient gas and the accelerated particle which interact with this gas to produce gamma rays. The results show that the abundances of the accelerated particles which produce the gamma rays are much more consistent with first-class particle abundances than with large proton-flare abundances. Observed bremsstrahlung spectral from 16 flares are compared with calculated bremsstrahlung spectra. It is concluded that the electrons observed in interplanetary space and the electrons responsible for gamma-ray production cannot be drawn from the same accelerated particle population without the former being affected by reacceleration or energy-dependent escape.
