The importance of prolate-oblate potential energy difference in determining the structure of light- and medium-weight nuclei is examined in a Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculation using the generator coordinate method. The results corroborate the earlier observations of Kumar regarding the correlation between the sign of the prolate-oblate energy difference and the crossing of the 2$sub 2$$sup +$ and 4$sup +$ states in even-even nuclei. Arguments based on time- dependent Hartree-Fock results are presented to support earlier observations regarding the predominance of prolate type quadrupole moments. (AIP)
