The detection of the Si-30O v = 0 J = 1-0 line in the evolved stars VY CMa, VX Sgr, IK Tau, and W Hya is reported. This emission has been identified as a new circumstellar maser, and it is shown to be similar to the Si-29O v = 0 maser in velocity structure and type of object in which it is observed, but to be about four times less intense. The results suggest that the pumping mechanisms of both molecules are similar and are related to nonlocal radiative interaction between different regions of the inner envelope.
