It is pointed out that a recently claimed result regarding the removal of sharp structure in the electronic density of states N(E) of A-15 superconducting compounds at T ∼ Tc was in fact, shown earlier by one of the present authors (M.N.M.). Merely the variation of N(E) with energy in the vicinity of the Fermi level in these materials cannot explain their anomalous normal state properties and high values of λ and Tc. Rather a non-varying N(E) accompanied by phonon softening is in better agreement with experiment. © 1982.
