Abstract
The nature of the singular behavior pointed out by Griffiths for in dilute magnets is investigated. It is argued that for concentration less than that for formation of an infinite cluster, all derivatives of are finite. The nonanalyticity in is due to a branch cut along the imaginary axis having weight for , and is thus too weak to be experimentally observable. Some numerical and exact analytic results for the dilute magnet on a Bethe lattice are presented.
