Suppose X is a 4-dimensional complete intersection in CPr+4 of multidegree d1, …, dr. We show that X supports infinitely many almost complex structures for exactly 8 possible multi-degrees. In particular, a hypersurface of degree d in CP5 admits infinitely many almost complex structures if and only if d = 2 or 6. This generalizes a result of E. Thomas [4] for CP4. We give also some tables of possible Todd genera and a result for complex surfaces.
