An air-shower array designed specifically to study fluctuations of N particles and mu mesons was operated at an altitude of 800 g/cm/sup 2/. Figures show variation of lateral distribution and number of nuclear active particles and mu mesons with shower size. From data given on fluctuations of N particles and mu mesons, it is seen that N particles and mu mesons fluctuate together and the order of fluctuation is of comparable magnitude. (A.G.W.)
