Ilford G5 emulsions were exposed at 6 altitudes from 4 to 40 mbar at λ = 7.8° N during 1961 to 1966. Atmospheric neutrons ≡8 to 200 MeV are studied by using three different parameters. Rate of production of cosmic ray and evaporation stars at 6 different altitudes are given. Neutron differential energy spectra as well as integrated spectra at 0, 4, 6, 10, and 40 mbar are presented; the 0 mbar spectrum is obtained by extrapolation. Neutron energy spectra for E > 50 MeV using another parameter are given for 7 different altitudes. All spectra show maxima near 40 MeV, and large drops near 22 MeV as well as 100 MeV. The results at λ = 7.8° N are compared with others near λ = 42° N and discussed in detail.
