We present calculations of the Drell-Yan cross section for high-mass dilepton production in proton-nucleus collisions using both scaling quark distributions and nonscaling distributions determined from asymptotically free quantum chromodynamics and a fit to leptoproduction data. The results are in only qualitative agreement with the data; to improve the fit it is suggested that one should include nonleading corrections to the Drell-Yan formula.
