A new radio survey of the C-12O molecule in the Galactic plane covering the longitude range l:294 - 358 deg is compared with the flux of high energy gamma rays in the same region. A good correlation between the two is found, and it is shown that the data are consistent with the hypothesis that most of the gamma-ray flux is produced by the cosmic-r…
