A very dense cascade shower was fouud in a 200-sheet stack of 60 x 30-cm nuclear emulsions exposed in Texas above 110,000 ft and is ascribed to a single gamma ray or two gamma rays from the same pi /sup 0/ meson. This cascade, very near to the shower axis and before the cascade maximum, is treated as a pure electron-photon cascade and is analyzed by target diagrams made at varying distances from the shower origin. The distribution of the high-energy electrons in the cascade agrees with the predictions of cascade theory, the primary energy being 2.3 x 1O/sup 13/ ev for the best fit. (D.L.C.)
