We reanalyze the constraints on atmospheric ..nu../sub e/ and ..nu../sub ..mu../ fluxes due to three-neutrino oscillations and investigate the anomalous neutrino fluxes recently observed at Kamiokande. We find that it is difficult to explain the data by ..nu../sub e/left-right-arrow..nu../sub ..mu../ oscillations alone. We also show that models of three neutrino flavors with neutrino-mass-squared differences of order 10/sup -2/ eV/sup 2/ can solve both the solar and the atmospheric neutrino problems simultaneously.
