On the basis of an analysis of the extensive air shower data accumulated over the last ten years at Akeno Cosmic Ray Observatory, the value of the proton-air nuclei inelastic cross section is determined assuming the validity of quasi-Feynman scaling of particle production in the fragmentation region. The energy dependence of this cross section is represented as 290(E/1 TeV) exp 0.052 mb in the energy interval 10 exp 16.2 - 10 exp 17.6 eV, where E is the incident proton energy. The total p-p cross section, derived using the nuclear distribution function obtained from the shell model, increases with energy as 38.5 + 1.37 ln squared (sq rt s/10 GeV)mb.
