Recent observations of hypernuclear bound states in experiments at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Alternate Gradient Synchrotron are described. Gamma rays from hypernuclei have been observed in coincidence with a (K/sup -/,..pi../sup -/) energy difference spectrum. The energy resolution and purity of the (K/sup -/,..pi../sup -/) spectrum demonstrate unambiguously the hypernuclear origin of the gamma rays. The case of ..lambda../sup 7/Li is discussed in detail as it represents the first successful application of the technique. Experiments in progress at Brookhaven on other hypernuclei and prospects for the future are discussed.
