We have investigated the dependence of the magnetisation critical current density Jc of Pr-substituted YBa2Cu3Oy on the percentage praseodymium content (for 0, 2, 4 and 8% substitution) using a vibrating sample magnetometer. Although the critical temperature of these pseudo-quaternary compounds Y1 \

✦ Synopsis
A series of orthorhombic (Dyt _xPrx)Ba2Cu3Oy samples with x= 0-1.0 were synthesized and characterized by XRD, DTA and electrical resistivity measurements. Pr-doping suppresses the superconducting transitions more or less linearly to a complete quenching at x-~ 0.6. Meanwhile, increase in normal-state resistivities and their deviation from a linear temperature dependence begin to show up near x-~ 0.3-0.4, beyond which a semiconducting behavior prevails. These results are discussed in conjunction with those previously reported for isomorphic compounds (Yt _~Prx) Ba2Cu3Oy, ( Eut _xPr~) Ba2Cu3Oy, and ( Gd~ _~Pr~) Ba2Cu30 r
