The total cross sections of gamma rays of energies termined in the elements aluminum, copper, cadmium, and lead, using a fast-slow Compton scintillation spectrometer with an effective resolving time of 120 millimicroseconds. A general agreement was observed between the present experimental values and those obtained in an earlier investigation. The dilution effect of the cross sections noticed in the previous investigation for lower energy photon groups was eliminated by the use of Compton scintillation spectrometer. The experimental values of the cross sections obtained have shown good agreement with the theoretically computed values at all energies. The cross sections in lead, however, differed from the theoretical values, with the discrepancy increasing towards lower energies. These definite deviations are ascribed to the theoretical errors inherent in the estimation of photoelectric and total scattering cross sections. (auth)
