We show that recent monojet searches in electron-positron annihilation experiments can be used to extend significantly the limits on the mixing of a massive fourth-generation neutrino with the electron neutrino. When combined with other limits from hadron decays and secondary-vertex searches in hadron and electron-positron annihilation experiments, bounds of Vertical BarU/sub 14/Vertical Bar/sup 2/< or approx. =10/sup -6/ for neutrino masses of 10 MeV/c/sup 2/ to over 10 GeV/c/sup 2/ are obtainable by analysis of existing data.
