The Li I 1s2p/sup 2/ /sup 4/P--2p/sup 3/ /sup 4/S/sup o/ transition has been studied in the spectrum of foil-excited lithium ions; its wavelength has been determined to be lambda = 145.016 +- 0.006 A, in good agreement with previous experimental results. The lifetime of the triply excited 2p/sup 3/ /sup 4/S/sup o/ level has been derived from decay curves as tau = 13.5 +- 1.5 ps. Both values agree with very recent theoretical predictions.
