Abstract
In this Comment we argue that Ho2Ti2O7 does not exhibit a transition to a partially ordered state unlike what is argued in PRL 83, 1854 (1999), that it exhibits spin ice behavior, and that the experimental specific heat data by Siddharthan et al. can be accounted for in terms of a "dipolar spin ice" model by including an expected contibution from the nuclear Ho spins to the appropriate long-range treatment of the dipole-dipole interactions.
