In order to identify double-{gamma} vibrational states in well-deformed regions, we have made a Coulomb excitation experiment for {sup 168}Er. We could observe 1235-keV and 962-keV {gamma} transitions decaying from the 2056-keV 4{sup +} state. The measured {ital E}2 transition probabilities support the assignment of the 4{sup +} state as a two-phonon {gamma}-vibrational state.
