We obtain the simplest examples of monopole solutions in an SU(3) gauge theory, corresponding to the generators of the homotopy groups ..pi../sub 2/(G/H). These monopoles are characterized either by two Abelian magnetic charges when the residual symmetry group H is U(1) x U(1) or by combined Abelian and non-Abelian magnetic charges when the residual symmetry group is U(2). The magnetic charges do not always satisfy the Dirac quantization condition, but do satisfy a generalized ''quantization'' condition. (AIP)
