The inelastic neutron scattering reaction has been employed to search for a 2485-keV {gamma} ray which has been reported as a deexciting transition from one of the higher-spin members of the two-phonon octupole quartet in {sup 208}Pb. Although other states of similar spin and excitation energy are observed, no evidence for a 2485-keV {gamma} ray is obtained in either {gamma}-ray singles or {gamma}-{gamma} coincidence measurements. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
