Results from CERN experiment NA36 are reported. Cross sections for the production of singly strange particles in the S+Pb and p+Pb reactions have been measured in the rapidity range 1.250.2 GeV. A significant difference in the rapidity distributions of the lambda particles originating from these reactions suggests a fundamental difference in the strangeness production mechanism.
