The two systems (a) and (b) for different values of x were synthesized. Their electron transport and magnetic properties show a change in behavior above a critical value of x. Unlike the system La/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/CoO/sub 3/, itinerant electron ferromagnetism is not observed. This is explained on the basis of the absence of an itinerant band of Co/sup 4 +/ whose generation is restricted on account of substitution of Ti/sup 4 +/. Electron transport in these two systems is compared with that of LaCoO/sub 3/ or La/sub 1-x/Sr/sub x/CoO/sub 3/ and is discussed in view of the presence of different valence states of cobalt and change in crystal field splitting. Spin-state equilibria in these two systems are simiar to that in LaCoO/sub 3/.
