The Coulomb excitation experiment on the 178Hf was performed using 650 MeV beam of 136Xe. The first observation of discrete transitions in the K\pi =8- isomeric band, Coulomb excited from K\pi =0+ ground state, is reported. The possible mechanisms of E1 coupling of the ground state band and the isomeric band is discussed.
