Using a 14SGd radioactive target and the (p, d), (d, t), and (3He, c~) single neutron pick-up reactions we have measured the 147Gd mass excess as -75,366(4)keV, which differs by 139(24) keV from the adopted value of the 1983 mass table. From this result, and from recently reported first transfer-reaction mass determinations for 14SEu and 146Eu, we have recalculated the masses of nuclei above 146Gd from a previous shell model analysis of high-spin states.
