Distributions of the charge of colliding particles as functions of c.m.s. rapidity are investigated for ..pi../sup -/p and ..pi../sup -/n semi-inclusive interactions. It is shown that the fragmentation regions of the ..pi../sup -/ meson and proton charges are quite broad and overlap the central region for all n/sub plus-or-minus/ at 40 GeV/c. The charge transfers of the proton into the forward hemisphere and of the ..pi../sup -/ meson into the backward hemisphere are determined for different n/sub plus-or-minus/. The charge fraction carried away by leading particles is given. Distributions are also given of the mean charge per particle from proton and ..pi../sup -/ fragmentation in ..pi../sup -/p and ..pi../sup -/n interactions with n/sub plus-or-minus/< or =4 and n/sub plus-or-minus/>4.
