Energy spectra of inelastically scattered 16-MeV deuterons were measured at angles of 90$sup 0$ and 125$sup 0$ using enriched target of $sup 230$Th, $sup 240$Pu, $sup 244$Pu, and $sup 248$Cm. In each nucleus the ground state band is observed up to and including the J/sup $pi$/ = 8$sup +$ level. The $beta$ vibration J/sup $pi$/ = 0$sup +$ level is identified in $sup 230$Th, and in this and the remaining three nuclei evidence for the $gamma$ vibration is discussed. At least octupole bands are observed in each nucleus, and K,J/sup $pi$/ assignments are made in a number of cases. B(E2) and B(E3) values are extracted for selected levels.
