****************************************************** PR # 42193 We propose to begin the systematic study of the spctra of high redshift clusters of galaxies. Specifically, we will make the first determinations of the cluster temperature function at a redshift other than zero. This measurement will discriminate among various models of the evolution of the X-ray gas in clusters and will also determine the mass density fluctuation spectrum on cluster scales. This proposal requests observations of the last four clusters in our complete sample. ******************************************************
