The total K/sup +/-p cross section was measured at the three K/sup +/- meson energies 175 plus or minus 25, 225 plus or minus 25, and 275 plus or minus 25 Mev, and the differential scattering cross section was measured at 225 Mev. The K/sup +/--p nuclear force was shown to be repulsive, from the observed constructive interference with Coulomb scattering. The differential cross section was otherwise isotropic and could arise from either pure Swave or pure P- wave scattering. Subtracted dispersion relations were applied to these data and the rest of the available K-proton scattering data. The statistical errors in the data were found to be too large to determine the K-hyperon relative parity. On the assumption that the K LAMBDA and K SIGMA relative parities are the same, then for scalar coupling, g/sup 2//4 pi would be less than 0.6; for pseudoscalar coupling, it would be less than 10.
