To search for baryonium states, a highly sensitive experiment with good statistics has been carried out at KEK by using an antiproton beam, deuterium target, and time-of-flight counter together with a modularized NaI(Tl) detector. At the 4{sigma} level, no narrow peaks due to the production of baryonia in the {bar p}d{r_arrow}Bn reaction have been observed in the neutron spectra. At lower significance levels, however, we have observed four narrow peaks with 3.7{sigma}{minus}3.5{sigma}, and two at an even lower significance level, in different charge-multiplicity final states. The recoil momentum distribution of the neutrons has been extracted for the channel with zero charge prongs. The energy spectra for {gamma} rays in coincidence with the neutron have been also obtained. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
