In the study of interactions of 60 GeV/ c π − mesons in nuclear emulsion some peculiarities of the prong-number distribution and the angular distribution of secondaries have been observed. They are interpreted in terms of the coherent production of three and five pions on emulsion nuclei. The cross section for these reactions increases with the increasing energy.
