It has been pointed out by Bahcall and Bethe and others that all solar-neutrino data can be explained by Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein oscillations with {ital m}({nu}{sub {mu}}){similar to}10{sup {minus}3} eV consistent with ideas of grand unified theories (GUT). We point out here a second possibility consistent with GUT ideas with {ital m}({nu}{sub {tau}}){similar to}10{sup {minus}2} eV and {ital m}({nu}{sub {mu}}){similar to}10{sup {minus}4} eV. The two cases can be distinguished by a measurement of the solar neutrinos from {sup 7}Be.
