Abstract
A review of temperature-dependent magnetization data for nonsuperconducting $\mathrm{Pr}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{4}{\mathrm{O}}_{8}$ and $\mathrm{Cm}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ suggests that the failure of each to superconduct is related to the presence of Pr and Cm on their respective Ba sites. This defect is manifested, in each case, by short $c$-axis lattice parameters and anomalous high-temperature magnetic ordering which has been incorrectly attributed to ordering of the entire magnetic sublattice. Instead, it is shown that the anomalous high-temperature ordering as seen in the magnetization data is consistent with the ordering of magnetic ions substituted on the Ba site.
