The reaction F M (£/y)Ne?° has been studied at two resonances, 669 kev and 1092 kev, to obtain information about properties of the 4.97-Mev level in Ne 20 . It is shown that this 4.97-Mev level is fed by a direct transition from the 1-f-resonance at 669 kev, that it does not have spin 0 and that its transition to the ground state of Ne 20 is less than 5% of the transition to the first excited state. It is concluded that the most likely assignments to the 4.97-Mev level are 2± or 3+. p^XlO 6 J 1 "> J J x|0 * ^_>7Mev -j
