Anisotropy of cosmic rays above 10(14) eVA survey is made of the anisotropy of cosmic rays at energies above 10 to the 14th power eV. It is concluded that cosmic gamma-rays may have an effect in the range 10 to the 14 power - 10 to the 16th power eV, above which protons dominate. Evidence is presented for an excess in the general direction of the Galactic plane which grows with increasing energy until about 10 to the 19th power eV, indicating a Galactic origin for these particles. At higher energies an Extragalactic origin is indicated.
