We present the results of a spin determination of the g 1 − (1640) meson from an analysis of its dipion decay mode (π − π 0 ), and find that spin three (or maybe greater) is favored [1,2]. We also report on the observation of an isospin one KK̄ enhancement at 1640 MeV which is consistent with a new decay mode of the g meson. A relative branching ratio of (K K ̄ /ππ) = 8 ± 3 8 % is obtain from our analysis.
