  In a recent Letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, p.5640 (1998), cond-mat/9808249 v3),
it was suggested that nonlocal effects may prevent observation of the nonlinear
Meissner effect in YBCO. We argue that this claim is incorrect with regards to
measurements of the nonlinear transverse magnetic moment, and that the most
likely reason for a null result lies elsewhere.
