63. LT we observe for x=0 and high magnetic fields is different from those negative jumps we observe for x>0.02. We think that for x=0 the effect is connected to the polycrystallinity of the sample, since it does not occur in the single crystal.
64. At their point of intersection, χ(T) and M(H) curves ususally agree within an error of 1%-2%. However, to increase the precision of our analysis we have normalized the M(H) curves to the χ(T) curve at 14 Tesla.

67. That the Eu content of the crystal is indeed a little bit smaller than the nominal value of y=0.2 can also be seen from a comparison of the single crystal average in Fig. 13 (asterisk inside a circle sign) and the slightly larger susceptibility of the polycrystal in Fig. 5.

73. The spin-flop is a first order transition only for H∥b.
74. C=0 (cf. Ref. 26).
75. Due to strain related to the first-order structural transition, the LTT phase is intrinsically inhomogeneous (see Ref. 45).
76. At the time of this measurement the maximum magnetic field was limited to 8 Tesla.
