23. 2/mnm space group the actual 4(c) site, as well as the 8(h) site allowing z shifts for the Dy ion, contribute only to hkl with h+k,l=2n, so they do not contribute to (1 0 l/2) reflections.

25. 1 =[0, 0, 1/2] does not split this position and magnetic moments of Dy1 and Dy2 ions must be symmetry related. The same holds for Dy3 (0 0 1/2) and Dy4 (1/2 1/2 1/2) ions from the 2(b) site. However, neither model A nor B obeys this constraint.

35. 101 for H∥[010]. However, the authors considered only the canted arrangement of quadrupoles to interpret this observation. The same arrangement has been postulated in the publication which appeared recently: K. Indoh, A. Tobo, H. Yamauchi, K. Ohoyama, and H. Onodera, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 73, 669 (2004).
