The ..cap alpha..-particle cluster structure of /sup 44/Ti, which is of considerable interest for investigation of the persistence of ..cap alpha.. clustering in the region of the sd-shell closure, is studied within the frame of a local-potential approach. It is shown that the model leads to specific predictions if continuity with existing unique ..cap alpha..+ /sup 40/Ca optical potentials is insisted upon; in particular, the existence of an as yet experimentally unknown ..cap alpha..-cluster negative-parity band, starting just above the ..cap alpha..+ /sup 40/Ca threshold, is strongly suggested.
