The total electrical conductivity, ionic conductivity, and nonstoichimetry of a new cathode material $Y_{1-x}Ca_xFeO_{3-\delta}$ (x=0.1) were measured as functions of temperature ($900\leqT/^{\circ}C\leq1100$) and oxygen partial pressure $(10^{-6}\leqPo_2/atm\leq0.21$). Isothermal variations of these properties with $Po_2$ support that the majority type of ionic defects are anti-Frenkel disorder which, however, has seldom been considered for perovskite-based oxides. The results are discussed in comparison with those reported on similar oxides.
