Abstract
Thirty-four "forked tracks" similar to two previously reported by Rochester and Butler have been observed in 11,000 cloud-chamber photographs of cosmic-ray penetrating showers, confirming their conclusion that new unstable neutral and charged particles exist. The lifetime of the neutral particles is found to be about 3×10^-10 sec., and some information as to the nature of the decay products is given.
