  Recently, Hecker et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 1547 (1997)] experimentally
studied magnetoconductance fluctuations in a mesoscopic Au wire connected to a
superconducting Nb contact. They claimed to have observed an enhancement of the
rms magnitude of these conductance fluctuations in the superconducting state
(rms(Gns)) relative to that in the normal state (rms(Gn)) by a factor of 2.8.
In this comment, we argue that the measured rms(Gns) is NOT significantly
enhanced compared to rms(Gn) when we correct for the presence of an incoherent
series resistance from the contacts, which is different when Nb is in the
superconducting or normal state.
