The decay of the isotopes 255Rf, 251No and 247Fm produced in the reactions , and
was investigated by means of α-γ spectroscopy. Previously observed γ transitions in coincidence with α decays of 255Rf were confirmed, their energies and line intensities were measured more precisely, and their multipolarities were determined as E1. In 251No a new isomeric state at E
* > 1700keV with a half-life of ≈ 2μs was identified. The decay of 247Fm was measured more precisely. A partial level scheme of the daughter nucleus 243Cf could be established.
