Solid-state track detectors were used to study the angular distributions of fission fragments obtained in bombardment of nuclei from Ag to U by 137-MeV oxygen ions. A method of calculating the angular anisotropy is discussed which does not require calculations of the nuclear temperature at the saddle point. The possibility is considered of using the experimental data on fragment angular distributions for determination of the limiting values of angular momenta of fissioning nuclei.
