Recently, a set of nine nonmagic nuclei with anomalous values of the B(E2) ratio B_4/2 ≡ B(E2; 4⁺₁ → 2⁺₁)/B(E2; 2⁺₁ → 0⁺₁) were identified. Such values are outside the range allowed by current collective models. In the present work, the B(E2; 4⁺₁ → 2⁺₁) values for two of these nuclei, ⁹⁸Ru and ¹⁸⁰Pt, were re-measured to determine if the current literature values for these nuclei are correct. ^{98 …}
