Vibrational states in $sup 246$Cm and $sup 248$Cm have been investigated by inelastic deuteron scattering. The K/sup pi/=0$sup -$, 1$sup -$, and 2$sup -$ octupole states are identified in $sup 246$Cm at 1251, 1080, and 842 keV, respectively. In $sup 248$Cm several excited states above 1 MeV have been identified; however, definite assignments for these states, except a J/sup pi/ =3$sup -$ state at 1095 keV and a J/sup pi/=2$sup +$ state at 1050 keV, could not be made. Differences between the $sup 246$Cm and $sup 248$Cm level spectra are interpreted in terms of their microscopic components. Reduced transition probabilities B (E3) are extracted for the observed J/sup pi/=3$sup -$ levels and are compared with theoretical values available in the literature.
