The charge and isotopic composition of Z equals 7-16 cosmic ray nuclei at their sourceUsing the combined data from our 1976 and 1977 balloon flights, the charge and isotopic composition of Z equals 7-16 cosmic ray nuclei have been determined. A low abundance of both N and Ne in the cosmic ray source relative to solar cosmic rays is observed. However, the cosmic ray source ratio, Ne-22/Ne is 2.75 plus or minus 0.42 times the solar ratio. A possible enhancement of the Mg-26/Mg ratio, which is 1.29 plus or minus 0.14 times the solar ratio is also observed.
