We present examples showing that certain results on the invariance of link polynomials under generalized mutation are the best possible. They show, moreover, that this generalized mutation cannot be effected by a sequence of ordinary mutations. One of the examples also shows that the reduced Jones polynomial can be a more sensitive invariant than the Jones polynomial itself.
