3. While the data are consistent with three crystal-field doublets, it is not sufficient to definitively state the crystal-field levels. Additional measurements are in progress to confirm these findings.

17. The software used to measure the heat capacity uses average values to fit the thermal relaxation data. From the raw traces, the transitions which we have assigned as first order are clearly first order in nature. Experience tells us that the averaging method underestimates the value of the heat capacity near the peak of the first-order transition by a factor of 4 or 5.
