The fractional cumulative yields of /sup 134/Te and /sup 135/I in the spontaneous fission of /sup 252/Cf are determined by following the growth and decay of /sup 134/I and /sup 135/Xe/sup g/ activities, respectively, on a 60-cm/sup 3/ Ge(Li) detector. The values of the most probable charge (Zp) for mass chains 134 and 135 are calculated assuming Gaussian distribution. The values of fractional cumulative yield are 0.791 and 0.975 for /sup 134/Te and /sup 135/I, respectively, and corresponding Zp values are 52.03 +- 0.06 and 52.40 +- 0.06. The data are compared with other fractional cumulative yield values from literature in the spontaneous fission of /sup 252/Cf to see the effect of fragment shells on the width of the charge distribution.
