Some aspects of the chemical composition of high energy cosmic rays have been investigated in a balloon flight in 1972 from Palestine, Texas. The apparatus used was an ionization spectrometer with a geometric factor of 1.01 sq m sr. The charge resolution was sufficient to separate four groups of elements from the CNO group to the iron group. The energy range covered extends up to 100 GeV/nucl. The results indicate that there is no drastic change in abundance ratios at high energies, and that at 100 GeV/nucl. spallation products are still present. However the high energy abundance ratio between the CNO group and the iron group is about a factor of two different from that one that was reported for low energies of about 1 GeV/nucl. by other authors.
