A marked isotopic mass dependence of the g-factors obtained can be correlated with changes in the proton and neutron pairing gaps as the deformation increases. Results are compared with and discussed in terms of theoretical calculations, including the interacting boson model.The cooperationo f the staffo f the AustralianN ational University1 4UD Pelletron laboratorya nd theirh ospitalitye xtendedto the Melbournec ollaboratorsa rea pprec-iated greatly.W e thank Dr. C.E.
