A reanalysis of the (α,α′) data for extracting the reduced excitation probability B(E2;0g+→IπK=2+0) of the 1276.7 keV transition in 178Hf indicates an error in the earlier published value. The new value of B(E2) from the (α,α′) data is 0.022(5) e2 b2 and is consistent with a recent measurement. The extracted total mean lifetime of the 1276.7 keV level is τ=0.70-0.14+0.22 ps.
