Possible effects of hexadecapole nuclear deformations on subbarrier fusion cross sections are investigated. The {sup 16}O on {sup 166}Er and {sup 176}Yb reactions have been measured at beam energies ranging from 64 to 100 MeV. The {sup 166}Er and {sup 176}Yb data and already existing {sup 154}Sm data were analyzed in terms of a model including both quadrupole and hexadecapole deformations. Theoretical predictions follow qualitatively the trend of the experimental data.
