With an average sigma approx. = 0.65 amu we have measured the isotopic composition of Cr, Mn, Fe, and Ni in the galactic cosmic radiation for energies approx. 300 to approx. 600 MeV/amu at the detector. Large deviations from solar-system source composition reported by other workers are not observed.
