The rate of production of heavy elements is rediscussed using the models of Arnett (1978) for late stage nucleosynthesis in massive stars, the M(M-alpha) relationship of Chiosi et al. (1978) for losing mass models in the core H and He-burning phases, and the stellar birth rate of Miller and Scalo (1978). Contrary to the results of Wheeler et al. (1978), the difficulty of heavy element overproduction is not encountered in the present study. The explosive nucleosynthesis from massive stars is still compatible with the observed abundance distribution of the solar system, and a stellar birth rate decreasing over the history of the galactic disk.
