   Mass-chain Evaluations:
   -----------------------
   Since October 1996 NSDD meeting, the following mass chains have been
   published or submitted:
      A=151, B. Singh, NDS 80, 263 (1997)
      A=100, B. Singh, NDS 81, 1 (1997)
      A=77,  A. Farhan and B. Singh, NDS 81, 417 (1997)
      A=135, Y. Sergeenkov and B. Singh, NDS 84, 115 (1998)
      A=98,  B. Singh, NDS 84, 565 (1998)
      A=89,  B. Singh, NDS (in press) (1998)
      A=75,  A. Farhan and B. Singh, NDS (Submitted April 98)

   Mass chain in progress: A=163 by B. Singh, A. Farhan and D. Davis
                     Expected completion: End of October 1998

   Data for Superdeformed Bands:
   ----------------------------
   1997 update was completed in June 1997 and published by B. Singh,
   S.Y.F. Chu and R.B. Firestone as WWW edition and in 1997 Table of
   Isotopes. Another update by B. Singh is in progress.

   Other activities based on user requests:

   1. Logft systematics over the entire mass range was completed
      in early 1998 and published by B. Singh, J.L. Rodriguez, S.S.M. Wong,
      and J.K. Tuli in NDS 84, 487 (1998).
 
   2. Update Supplement to Level Structures in Medium-Heavy Deformed
      odd-odd nuclei: B. Singh, P.C. Sood and A.K. Jain,
      Atomic Data and Nucl. Data Tables 69, 349-58 (1998)

   3. Data for Magnetic-Rotational Bands: Amita and A.K. Jain (Roorkee, India)
      and B. Singh. This work on compilation of magnetic dipole bands in
      all nuclides is in progress with expected completion by the end of 1998.
