We have measured d..cap alpha.. angular correlations in the reaction /sup 14/C(/sup 6/Li,d)/sup 18/O(..cap alpha..)/sup 14/C at a /sup 6/Li ion energy 32 MeV. Quantum numbers have been determined for the /sup 18/O states with excitation energies 12.6 MeV (5/sup -/), 17.05 MeV (7/sup -/), and 18.95 MeV (7/sup -/). The probabilities of population and the widths of the states found indicate an expressed ..cap alpha..-cluster structure. The energy locations of the ..cap alpha..-cluster levels 7/sup -/ found in various light nuclei are compared.
