We report measurements of the anomalous oxygen and neon as measured with the HI-SCALE instrument on Ulysses at high southern heliolatitudes. Using both energy spectral features and C/O ratios, 2.0--2.8 MeV/nucl anomalous O is not distinguishable below a latitude of ~40 ¿S. The heliolatitude gradient is found to be +0.06¿0.50%/degree for the heliolatitude range 40 ¿S to 80 ¿S for an assumed radial gradient of 15% per AU. For the assumption of no radial gradient, the heliolatitude gradient is 0.39 ¿0.42%/degree. The O flux at this energy is ~2¿10-8/(cm2 sr s MeV/nucl); the Ne flux is ~5¿10-9/(cm2 sr s MeV/nucl). ¿ American Geophysical Union 1995
