Angular distributions of numerous $gamma$ rays have been measured following the decays of $sup 171$$,$$sup 172$Lu polarized at low temperatures. The magnetic moments of the Lu ground state are deduced to be vertical-bar$mu$ ($sup 171$Lu) vertical-bar= (2.03+-0.10) $mu$/subN/ and vertical-bar$mu$ ($sup 172$Lu) vertical-bar= (2.25+-0.10) $mu$/subN/. Spin assignments are deduced for several levels in $sup 172$Yb. E2/M1 and M2/E1 mixing ratios are deduced for many of the $sup 171$Yb and $sup 172$Yb transitions and are compared with expectations based on the intrinsic character of the nuclear levels. (AIP)
