A study has been made of the radiations from the neutron-deficient isotopes Bi/sup 203/, Bi/sup 204/, Bi/sup 205/, and Pb/sup 204 m/, principally by conversion electron spectroscopy with four 180 deg electron spectrographs of the permanent magnet type. The decay schemes of the bismuth isotopes are found to be very complex, and in spite of highresolution studies and some coincidence work, unique level schemes cannot be given in any case. A new transition in the decay of the 1 hr Pb/sup 204/ isomer has been identified at 289.5 kev, and this is interpreted as arising from a 41 state of Pb/sup 204/ at 1563 kev. A comparison is given of the results of the present study of Bi/sup 205/ decay with those of other recent spectroscopic studies of the Pb/sup 205/ levels. (auth)
