The diffuse component of gamma rays in the 15 to 75 Mev range arriving from near the galactic center was determined by using a digitized spark chamber which was launched aboard two balloons. In each flight the detector reached an altitude of 2,2 g/sq. cm. Based on these data, a diffuse gamma ray flux at energies of 21, 36, 52, 67 Mev respectively was obtained. These values give a power law spectrum with spectral index equal to -3,3. The dependence of this radiation with the galactic latitude and longitude was also obtained.
