Some recent experimental results concerning the high spin structure of two rare earth nuclei are presented. These are /sup 154/Er and /sup 158/Dy. The level schemes including yrast sequences are discussed. The reactions /sup 142/Nd(/sup 16/O,4n) and /sup 150/Nd(/sup 13/C,5n) respectively, for the studied nuclei are noted. 14 references. (JFP
