Gamma-ray angular distributions from the decay of states at 1959 keV excitation in ${}_{}{}^{114}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cd}$ and 1923 keV and 1930 keV excitation in ${}_{}{}^{116}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cd}$ are shown to be consistent with assignments of $3^{-}$ for these levels.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ${}_{}{}^{114,116}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cd}(n, n^{\prime }\gamma )$, $E\le 2.67$ MeV; measured $\sigma (E_{\gamma }, {\theta }_{\gamma })$; ${}_{}{}^{114,116}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cd}$ deduced $J$, $\pi$, $\delta$. Enriched targets. Ge(Li) detectors.
