notessubmitter remarks + registry

Specimen retained for repeat magnetometric examination. Magnetic moment, measured at 4 K, exceeds the value predicted for the reported iron content by approximately one order of magnitude. The discrepancy is reproducible across two re-mounts. No structural distortion is detectable by powder XRD.
