  We have studied magnetism in Ti_[1-x]Co_xO_[2-\delta] thin films with various
x and \delta by soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements at
the Co L_[2,3] absorption edges. The estimated ferromagnetic moment by XMCD was
0.15-0.24 \mu\beta/Co in the surface, while in the bulk it was 0.82-2.25
\mu\beta/Co, which is in the same range as the saturation magnetization of
1.0-1.5 \mu\beta/Co. Theseresults suggest that the intrinsic origin of the
erromagnetism. The smaller moment of Co atom at surface is an indication of a
magnetically dead layer of a few nm thick at the surface of the thin films.
