The $ E2/M1 $ multipole mixing ratio ($ delta $), reported by J. Gizon et al. Phys. Rev. C 17, 596 (1978), for 365 keV $ gamma $-transition in isotope[129]Ba is reevaluated and found altered. Experimentally determined angular distribution coefficients indicate a large E2 admixture in the 365 keV $ gamma $-ray. Indeed, it is found in better agreement with the reported linear polarization value for this $ gamma $-ray.
