Measurements of the longitudinal distribution of the Cherenkov light associated with extensive cosmic showers of approximately l0/sup 15/-ev minimum energy are presented. Thcse measurements are compared with those of Bassi et al. resulting from analysis of the electron component of extensive air showers and with the distribution calculated by Monte Carlo techniques from Coulomb scattering of the shower electrons.
