We compare the yields of direct muons in pFe interactions at 70 GeV with the expected contribution of muons from muon-pair production. We show that the contribution of these processes is (82 +- 4 +- 12)% on the average in the region 0.09< or approx. =x/sub F/< or approx. =0.6. Model-dependent restrictions on the cross section for production of charmed particles are obtained.
