The photographic plate method was used to detect He/sup 3/ particles emitted from helium gas exposed io bremsstrahlung of maximum energy 70 Mev. The He/sup 4/( gamma ,n)He/sup 3/ cross section is found to vary between values of 10.63 plus or minus 0.10) mb at 40 Mev and (0.25 plus or minus 0.04) mb at 60 Mev. the integrated cross section being 7.5 Mev mb between these limits. The angular distribution of the He/sup 3/ parti-cles in the C.M. system has a peak in the forward direction and may be described by the expression f( sigma ) = B sin/ sup 2/ theta /(1 + C cos theta ) with C approximately equal to 0.5.
