Summary In the following report, we shall have a look at the new results presented at this Conference, obtained using EAS investigations, and the progress made in the years since the last ICRC. We shall only touch upon our understanding of the phenomenology of EAS and its bearing on astrophysics, like the energy spectrum, composition and anisotropy of the primaries of EAS, leaving the other important application of EAS studies with respect to the problem of UHE interactions to others. Rapporteur talk given at the XXIV International Cosmic-Ray Conference, Rome, August 28–September 8, 1995.
