A magnet cloud chamber and a multiplate chamber were used to investigate the scattering of underground mu mesons of momentum (1.5 Bev/c in iron and in lead. No evidence was obtaiued for or against the existence of anomalous large- angle scattering. A computation of the effects of errors, as determined experimentally, on the theoretical scattering distributions indicated that these could easily simulate an apparent anomaly if not taken into account and that when they are taken into account the possibility of distinguishing between scattering from an extended nucleus and from a point nucleus becomes remote.
