High-resolution spectra of the MgH A-X system near 5130 Å provide the isotopic abundance ratios 25Mg/24Mg and 26Mg/24Mg for a sample of stars including several old disc dwarfs and giants, a classical and a mild barium star, and a weak G-band giant. The 25Mg and 26Mg isotopes are underabundant in metal-poor stars. This result is qualitatively consistent with predictions of stellar nucleosynthesis. The isotopic ratios are normal for the barium stars and the weak G-band star.
