A new method is proposed for studying the chemical composition of the primary cosmic radiation. In this method the flux of high-energy muons and the intensity of the Cerenkov radiation of extensive air showers would be measured simultaneously, and the shape of the Cerenkov pulse would be used to fix the shower maximum.
