A search for short-lived neutral particles which decay to electron-positron pairs has been carried out using a beam of 275-GeV electrons incident on an instrumental tungsten beam dump. The experiment was sensitive to particles up to 10 MeV/{ital c}{sup 2} in mass and down to 4{times}10{sup {minus}16} sec in lifetime.
