A significant improvement has been made in the identification of γ rays from muon capture in I, Au, and Bi, all monisotopic elements. The (μ^-,νn) reaction was clearly observed in all nuclei, but the levels excited do not correlate well with the spectroscopic factors from the (d,³He) reaction. Some (μ^-,ν2n), (μ^-,ν3n), (μ^-,ν4n), (μ^-,ν5n) and other reactions have been observed at a lower yield. The muonic x-ray cascades have also been studied in detail.
