Yields of 131 nuclides were measured radiochemically to delineate the mass distribution in the reaction of 1150-MeV $sup 136$Xe with a thick $sup 238$U target. Six components attributed to either the quasifission or the quasielastic- transfer mechanisms were observed in the mass distribution. An upper limit of 20 mb is given for the fusion-fission process. Neutron-deficient product masses in the region 180< or =A< or =210, colloquially referred to as the ''gold finger,'' are explained as heavy quasifission products. (AIP)
