Detailed spectroscopy measurements have been made of the gamma rays that follow the deexcitation of /sup 168/Er levels populated in the electron capture decay of /sup 168/Tm. These results, when combined with a reanalysis of Coulomb excitation and inelastic scattering data, provide level lifetime information and support octupole-state Coriolis-coupling calculations. The /(521 (1/2))(633 (7/2))/ two-neutron configurational pair deexcitation rates are compared and some evidence for K mixing among the octupole bands is presented.
