Balloon flights were made from Hyderabad, India, to determine the flux of primary protons and helium nuclei at the top of the atmosphere near the geomagnetic equator. Measurements were made with both Cherenkov-scintillation counter telescopes and nuclear research emulsions. The flux of helium nuclei was found to be 19.7 plus or minus 1.2 particles/m/sup 2//sterad/sec. The proton flux determined by the Cherenkov-scintillator technique was 110 plus or minus 3 particles/ m/sup 2//sterad/sec and that determined by the nuclear-emulsion technique was 87 plus or minus 12 particles/m/sup 2//sterad/sec.
