During 1984 the Leeds group (Lambert et al, OG 2,1-6) have observed emission above 5 times 10 to the 14th power eV in July, September and October at phi approximately 0.6. These observations were made with an array which included the Nottingham 10 sq m muon detector. A search for muons in events at the phase peak and off source has yielded the following results: (1) for 42 on source events we find an average muon density of 0.63 muons m(-2) at a mean core distance Bar R = 32 m and mean primary energy approximately 25 times 10 to the 15th power eV; (2) for 21 off source events average muon density = 1.6 m(-2), Bar R = 32 m with mean primary energy approximately 2.0 x 10 to the 15th power eV; (3) for 11 of the 42 on source events, zero muons were recorded in the 10 sq ms. For these events Bar R = 41 m and mean primary energy approximately 1.5 x 10 to the 15th power eV; (4) for 8 of the 21 off source events, zero muons were recorded in the 10 sq ms. For these events Bar R = 37 m and mean primary energy approximately 1.5 times 10 to the 15th power eV. For all the events the mean zenith angle was approximately 16 deg. A more detailed comparison of on source and further off source events will be presented.
