In a recent Letter by Barnett [S. M. Barnett, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 070401 (2010)], a total-momentum model is proposed for resolution of the Abraham-Minkowski dilemma. In this model, Abraham's and Minkowski's momentums are, respectively, a component of the same total momentum, with the former being the kinetic momentum and the latter the canonical momentum. In this Comment, I would like to indicate that this physical model is not compatible with the principle of relativity.
