Measurement limitations are reviewed of the diffuse cosmic gamma ray flux, due mainly to background produced locally in the telescope itself by cosmic radiation interactions, and the additional atmospheric contribution for balloon-borne experiments. The background characteristics were examined for the various experimental conditions, and the possibility is discussed of determining the real value of the cosmic gamma ray flux in relation to the level of the background present. The experimental determinations of the cosmic gamma ray flux at energy greater than or equal to 10 MeV are analyzed and compared. Due to severe discrepancies between the different observations, the origin of the diffuse gamma radiation based on its energy spectrum and intensity are premature, and no decision as to whether the diffuse spectrum is a simple extrapolation of the X-ray spectrum or a product of different mechanisms can be made.
