Abstract
The rather complete data set of hadron yields from central Si + A coll isions at the Brookhaven AGS is used to test whether the system at fre eze-out is in thermal and hadro-chemical equilibrium. Rapidity and tra nsverse momentum distributions are discussed with regards to the infor mation they provide on hydrodynamic flow.
