Mass and total--kinetic-energy (TKE) distributions of fission fragments from the spontaneous fission of /sup 262/(105) and /sup 256/Fm have been obtained. No events with anomalously high TKE were observed, contrary to the theoretical expectations. The mass distribution from the fission of /sup 262/(105) is very probably asymmetric and similar to distributions obtained from all spontaneously fissioning systems with the exception of /sup 257/Fm and /sup 259/Fm.
