  The interpretation of hypernuclear gamma-ray data for p-shell hypernuclei in
terms of shell-model calculations that include the coupling of Lambda- and
Sigma-hypernuclear states is briefly reviewed. Next, Lambda 8Li, Lambda 8Be,
and Lambda 9Li are considered, both to exhibit features of Lambda-Sigma
coupling and as possible source of observed, but unassigned, hypernuclear gamma
rays. Then, the feasibility of measuring the ground-state doublet spacing of
Lambda 10Be, which, like Lambda 9Li, could be studied via the (K-,pi0 gamma)
reaction, is investigated. Structural information relevant to the population of
states in these hypernuclei in recent (e,e'K+) studies is also given. Finally,
the extension of the shell-model calculations to sd-shell hypernuclei is
briefly considered.
