The reaction of /sup 35/Cl+Ta at 680 MeV has been studied with a system able to detect coincidences between projectilelike particles of charge Z> or =3. We have observed coincidences between all possible pairs of Z = 3 to Z = 8 fragments and have measured the energy correlations of the coincident fragments. These correlations show the production mechanism to be sequential projectile breakup.
