The production of charmonium states J/$ Psi$ and $ Psi sp prime$ was measured at 300 GeV/c with $ pi sp{ pm}$, p, and p beams on a lithium target. The cross sections were determined by analyzing a fraction (10%) of the data recorded by the experiment E705 at Fermilab. The data acquisition took place at the High Intensity Laboratory located on the "Proton West" beam line, and extended over a period of nine month during 1987-1988. / The efficiencies for the different detector components of the E705 spectrometer were measured, and the global acceptance was determined. The measured absolute cross sections for J/$ Psi$ and $ Psi sp prime$ are consistent with the measurements obtained in other experiments. The differential cross section for J/$ Psi$ production was measured for the kinematical variables X$ sb{ rm f}$, P$ sb{ rm t}$, and for the J/$ Psi$ decay angles. The distributions obtained are compared with the distributions measured at other energies by previous experiments.
