N2  - An examination is made of the relationship between the observed energy spectrum of cosmic rays and the averaged spectrum of the cosmic rays at their sources. These spectra differ greatly, due to propagation effects. A form of the source spectrum is deduced which is a rather featureless power law over the full range of observations from 1010 eV to 1020 eV. We suggest that this lack of features is indicative of a common source for all cosmic rays over the full energy range, as opposed to lower energy Galactic and higher energy intergalactic components such as is often suggested.
