Published data on cosmic-ray-induced air-shower events observed with an emulsion chamber on Mt. Fuji during 1982-1984 are analyzed statistically to search for showers with anomalous degrees of penetration. The characteristics of the Mt. Fuji instruments are reviewed, and the statistical results are presented in graphs and compared with those obtained at Mt.Chacaltaya by Funayama and Tamada (1986). Of a total of 132 showers from family members with energy greater than 5 TeV, 105 showers with starting depth less than 6 cascade units are selected, and their penetration power is evaluated on the basis of the width of the shower curves: no clear evidence of anomalously penetrating showers is found.
