A new isotope of berkelium, Bk248, formed by a 25-Mev helium-ion bombardment of a mixture of curium nuclides has been found. Its existence and a half-life of 23\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi5 hours were determined by periodically separating the \ensuremathβ^\ensuremath- decay daughter, Cf248, from the mixture of berkelium isotopes isolated after the bombardment.
