In the second experiment samples of Pd-H and Pd-D with high (T > 70 K) anomaly temperatures have been held below T for extended time a a periods. Resistance was seen to fall by up to 60% after several days of annealing. Reductions in annealing temperature caused further reductions in resistance. The changes are reversible; heating the samples to 90 K or more restored the original resistance. The third experiment was a neutron diffraction experiment on a single crystal of PdD.76. Annealing the crystal at 70 K produced superlattice diffraction lines belonging to the star {4/5 2/5 0}.
