Decay branching ratios of the /sub $lambda$$/$$sup 4$He hypernucleus were measured using a sample of hypernuclei produced in the interactions at rest of K$sup -$-mesons in a helium bubble chamber. The observation of 6 $pi$$sup +$- mesonic decays leads to a value of 0.043 +- 0.017 for the $pi$$sup +$-mesonic/ $pi$$sup -$-mesonic decay branching ratio. No examples of the charged two-body nonmesonic decays of the hypernucleus were observed. (auth)
