We have observed three molecular clumps in the Galactic center region in the CS J=2-1 line with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array. We have determined the mass spectrum and other statistical relations for the Galactic center cloud cores. The derived mass spectrum is somewhat steeper than for galactic cloud cores based on molecular line observations. In addition, the spectrum is steeper than that of the large scale Galactic center clumps.
