Gamma-ray spectra from the radioactive decay of $sup 140$Ba and $sup 140$La were observed by Ge(Li) spectroscopy. Gamma-ray energies were found to be consistent with literature values, but several of the observed gamma rays were found to have intensities differing significantly from those previously reported. Absolute intensities of prominent gamma rays emitted in the radioactive decay of $sup 140$Ba and $sup 140$La have been measured. The 12.8-day $sup 140$Ba activity was produced by 14.8-MeV neutron fission of $sup 238$U followed by radiochemical separation and purification. 3 tables. (auth)
