The formation of the mixed phase of the metallic and SDW insulating states has been suggested by Azevedo et al. near the critical pressure regime. Our data seem to suggest that the metallic phase in the mixed state (the shaded area in Fig. 2) becomes superconducting with little or no interaction from the SDW insulating phase as the system is cooled.
