Limits on the lepton flavor violating reactions ..mu../sup -/+Z..-->..e/sup -/+Z and ..mu../sup -/+Z..-->..e/sup +/+(Z-2), muon-electron and muon-position conversion, have been obtained. Upper limits (90% C.L.) for the branching ratios compared to ordinary muon capture are: R/sub -/(Ti) = GAMMA(..mu../sup -/Ti..-->..e/sup -/Ti)/GAMMA(..mu../sup -/Ti capture)<4.6 x 10/sup -12/, R/sub +/(Ti) = GAMMA(..mu../sup -/Ti..-->..d/sup +/Ca*)/GAMMA(..mu../sup -/Ti capture)<1.7 x 10/sup -10/ and R/sub -/(Pb)<4.9 x 10/sup -10/.
