Updated summaries are given of results on: (1) the equal-energy primary composition from charge-resolved energy spectra: (2) the all-particle energy spectrum; (3) N(max) and N(mu) spectra; and (4) harmonic components of the sidereal time variation. Recent results on the energy spectrum of air shower muons are combined with the N(max) and N(mu) spectra in a new synthesis which yields empirical relations for converting N(max) and N(mu) to primary energy. Using these relations a new calorimetric all-particle spectrum is obtained. Ground level data on the primary mass composition at air shower energies, newly analyzed in terms of the average logarithmic mass and the logarithmic mass dispersion, are shown to support a model in which a rigidity cutoff of low energy cosmic rays is masked by proton enhancement beginning before the all-particle knee.
