  The spectrum of quasar 0014+813 was the first in which deuterium was claimed
to be observed, at first as a probable detection, and later ``confirmed''. It
is important because it is the only case in which there is a serious likelihood
of a high D/H ratio, since the others are more ambiguous and admit a wide range
of D/H including zero. We present new high-resolution spectra with higher
quality than those published. Deuterium has been reported in two Lyman limit
systems (\zabs = 3.32, 2.80) along the line of sight. In both we find that the
absorption is readily explained by H alone and that deuterium absorption is
neither required nor suggested by the spectra. The three previous models with
high D/H values (D/H $\approx 20 \times 10^{-5}$) are not compatible with the
new data, and in some cases the differences are surprisingly large. Since the
spectrum is compatible with all values of D/H from zero up to large upper
limits, neither absorption system can be used to measure D/H, and previously
cited values should be disregarded. There is now no case in which a high value
of D/H has been established, and all data are compatible with low D/H.
Deuterium has been seen and measured in only two QSOs (Q1937--1009 and
Q1009+2956), both of which give low D/H. Several other QSOs give upper limits
which are about ten times less sensitive.
