The proton spectra of a solar cosmic radiation event were measured at Font Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. The event occurred at 2100 U. T. Sept. 3, 1960; it was caused by a solar flare at 0040 U. T. Nike-Cajun sounding rockets were fired at 1408 and 1730 U. T. and reached an altitude of 130 km. Emulsion and Geiger counter data were presented, for proton energies of 2 to 250 Mev. Riometer data were given for the total beam. (T.F.H.)
