Seven M13 red giants (Shetrone 1995) are reobserved at high resolution (R=61000) with S/N ranging between 106 to 166 per resolution element at 5135 Angstroms. Isotopic analysis of the 5135 Angstroms MgH bands reveal five stars with super solar ratios of (25) Mg + (26) Mg compared with (24) Mg and one star with solar isotopic ratios. Only one star, L598, has sub-solar isotope ratios consistent with those found in other population II stars. The isotope ratios ((25) Mg + (26) Mg)/(24) Mg anti-correlate with the Al abundances and correlate with the total Mg ((24) Mg + (25) Mg + (26) Mg) abundances. The star to star [Mg/Fe] variations are mostly due to (24) Mg, which is inconsistent with the deep mixing scenario of Langer and Hoffman 1996, unless the nuclear cross-sections for proton capture on (24) Mg are larger than currently reported.
