  The status of measurements of the arrival directions, mass composition and
energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 3 x 10^18 eV (3 EeV) is reviewed using
reports presented at the 29th International Cosmic Ray Conference held in Pune,
India, in August 2005. The paper is based on a plenary talk given at the
TAUP2005 meeting in Zaragoza, 10 - 14 September 2005.
