Recently published work on the metastable phase M ′, while agreeing with most of the earlier findings regarding its nature and morphology, raised doubts regarding the previously proposed structure. The basis of these doubts is discussed; reasons, based mainly on the experimental conditions employed, and evidence are given as to why the objections are not valid.
