The Letter reports a new experimental search for the family-number-nonconserving decay ..mu../sup +/..-->..e/sup +/..gamma... There is no evidence for the presence of this decay mode. The upper limit for the branching ratio is GAMMA(..mu -->..e..gamma..)/GAMMA(..mu -->..e..nu..nu-bar)<4.9 x 10 /sup -11/ (90% confidence limit).
