We have investigated the fragmentation of 3.65 GeV/nucleon {sup 16}O, {sup 24}Mg, and {sup 32}S projectiles on C, Al, Cu, Ag, and Pb targets using solid state nuclear track detectors. Track counting was performed by an automatic measuring system. Total charge changing and the partial cross sections for the production of fragments with charges 9{le}{ital Z}{le}15 for {sup 32}S projectiles and of charge 6{le}{ital Z}{le}11 for {sup 24}Mg were determined. Comparison with theoretical models and other experimental data is made.
