Observations have been made at 10 frequencies between 50 and 120 MHz of 17 rich, X-ray emitting clusters of galaxies with the 78 x 156 m dipole array al Llanherne. The observed flux densities were compared to the flux densities expected on the basis of the known discrete sources in the fields. In no case was a significant flux excess found that might have indicated the presence of a diffuse halo component of radio emission in the cluster. For those clusters in which spectral indices could be determined, the spectra all tend to be much steeper than is normal for extragalactic radio sources, although a strict correlation between the X-ray luminosity and the low-frequency radio luminosity or spectral index is not found. The occurrence of large halo sources such as that which is present in the Coma cluster seems to be quite unusual.
