Observations of solar energetic particles (SEP) from 22 solar flares in the 1977 to 1982 time period are reported. SEP abundances were obtained for all elements with 3 approximately less than Z approximately less than 30 except Li, Be, B, F, Sc, v, Co and Cu for which upper limits were obtained. Statistically meaningful abundances of several rare elements (P, Cl, K, Ti, and Mn) were determined for the first time, and the average abundance of the more abundant elements were determined with improved precision.
