Abstract
An interacting boson model study of octupole states in deformed rare-earth nuclei is discussed. The parameters and octupole bandhead energies are given for , , , , and . Detailed spectra and B(E3) transition rates are presented for . Reasonable agreement with experiment is obtained for eight of the nine nuclei studied.
