The effect of oxygen partial pressure on the stability of the high {ital T}{sub {ital c}} phase ({gt}100 K) in a Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system has been studied using resistivity, x-ray diffraction, and ac susceptibility measurements. It was observed that part of the high {ital T}{sub {ital c}} phase formed by sintering at 840 {degree}C in a low oxygen partial pressure of 1/10 atmosphere was transformed into a low {ital T}{sub {ital c}} phase ({similar to}80 K) and an insulating phase by heating at the same sintering temperature in O{sub 2} of one atmosphere. The original high {ital T}{sub {ital c}} phase was restored upon retreatment at the same temperature in a low oxygen partial pressure of 1/10 atmosphere.
