From the measurement of charge of the projectile fragments produced in /sup 24/Mg-emulsion nuclei at 4.5 (GeV/c)/N, an indication of the existence of charges Z = 8/3 and 5/3 among the projectile fragments was obtained. The measurement was based on the lacunarity study of the linear structure of the ionizing track, and the percentage abundance of Z = 8/3 and 5/3 has found to be consistent with the relative abundance of anomalons.
