The E2]M1 mixing ratio of the 122 keV ~,-ray in the decay of STCo has been measured by a nuclear orientation experiment. In order to obtain a very accurate value, special care was taken to reduce all possible systematic errors. The final value is 6=-0.116 + 0.001, from which we deduced the transition probabilities B(M1)= 0.0021 ___ 0.0001/1~ and B (E2) = 0.00267 _ 0.00011 e 2 b z.
