The electrical resistance of single crystals of the high‐temperature superconductor Tl 2 Ba 2 CaCu 2 O 8 has been measured as a function of the angle θ between the direction of the magnetic field and the current‐carrying CuO 2 ‐planes. The resistance is maximal for θ = 90° ( B ⟂CuO 2 ‐planes) and decreases to a minimum at θ = 0°. For small angles an anomalous enhancement of the resistance is found. While the general shape of the resistance is generated by the motion of “pancake vortices” in the CuO 2 ‐planes, the anomaly is due to “Josephson vortices” moving perpendicular to the planes.
