Coincident detection of $alpha$ particles is used to measure the differential cross section of the $sup 12$C($sup 12$C,$sup 8$Be)$sup 16$O reaction for theta/sub c.m./approx. =12degree to 68degree and for each 100 keV interval from E/sub c.m./=9 to 20 MeV. A large number of resonant enhancements is observed in the cross section and the J/sup pi/ values of these are unambiguously determined. The energies and widths of some of these resonant structures agree with resonances reported in other exit channels, in particular those which have been interpreted as a quasimolecular collective band in $sup 24$Mg. Well defined gross structure with J=8, 10, and 12 is observed at E/sub c.m./approx.12, 14.5, and 19 MeV. (AIP)
