✦ Synopsis

A y-radiation from l~ l~h has been detected, showing the same halfvalue periods as the [3-radiation. The analysis of the absorption curves of this y-radiation leads to the conclusion that the transition of the metastabile excited state of 1o4 Rh into the ground state is accompanied by a soft y-radiation (~ 50 ekv) and that of the ground state to 1°64 Pd by a harder one (~ 400 ekv). The estimated intensity of the y-radiation relative to th~.t of the ~-radiation suggests the possibility that l~ Rh can also transform into 1~ Ru by K-capture.
