Linear polarizations of ..gamma.. rays from the 11.86 ..-->.. 8.12 ..-->.. 4.12 MeV decay in /sup 2/4Mg have been studied with a NaI polarimeter. The 11.86 MeV level was populated via the /sup 1/2C(/sup 1/6O,..cap alpha gamma..)/sup 2/4Mg reaction. The results are consistent with J/sup ..pi../ = 8/sup +/ for the 11.86 MeV level and in agreement with earlier work, rule against a 6/sup +/ assignment with 85% confidence.
