An unusual hyperon decay was observed during a study of the interactions of 1.15 Bev/c K--mesons in an emulsion slack. The interaction results in a star with four evaporation tracks, a pi /sup -/ of 21 Mev kinetic energy that comes to rest producing a sigma -star, and a hyperon decaying in flight. Measurements made on the primary and secondary tracks are tabulated. The discussion of the interpretation of the event includes the subjects of the two-bcdy decay of a particle of hyperonic mass, the interaction of a SIGMA /sup plus or minus /- hyperon, and the radiative decay of a SIGMA /sup +/.
