Conversion-electron measurements following the /sup 144/Sm(..cap alpha..,2n) and /sup 144/Sm( /sup 3/He,n) reactions reveal high-energy E0 transitions at 3020, 3485, and 3639 keV. The lowest of these deexcites the known two-neutron pairing vibrational state in /sup 146/Gd. It is not clear whether either of the others can be associated with the 0/sup +/ member of the 3/sup -/ x 3/sup -/ two-phonon octupole multiplet.
