Data of 46 families with the accompanying Air Showers (AS), observed by the combination of the Emulsion Chamber (EC) and the air shower array at Mt. Chacaltaya, are presented. The experimental setup including the AS array which consists of 40 scintillation detectors and the emulsion chamber of 32 units is outlined. Size spectrum of total AS observed and the total energy observed in the family were obtained. The AS, which accompanies the family, is looked for in the list by the following two conditions: (1) the burst size is in proportion with the total energy observed in the family; and (2) both arrival directions of the family and Electromagnetic Air Shower (EAS) are in agreement with each other within the range of errors to examine the correlation between families and AS's. Integral energy spectrum of gamma-rays per family for the different intervals of the total energy observed in the family and the size of AS. Comparison with simulation calculation results concludes that a change is necessary in the characteristics of hadron interactions in high energy region equal to or exceeding 1015 eV.
