The results of an analysis of data acquired from balloon-borne measurements of the diffuse cosmic gamma-ray component above 5 MeV are presented. The measurements were made with the Natalya 1 gamma-ray telescope at a geomagnetic latitude of 46 deg over both the Soviet Union and India between 1979 and 1980. The particles recorded in the experiment included gamma-ray photons of 5 MeV, electrons of 20 MeV, and protons of kinetic energy 100 MeV. An integrated gamma-ray flux density of .0005(+ or - .0003) photons per sq cm/sec/sr was obtained.
