The mezzotint of Isaac Newton on page 1341 of the issue of 18 September should have been credited to the Prints Collection, New York Public Library, by permission of New Republic Books.     

Erratum

In the report "Fatty acids ... smooth muscle cells" by J. J. Huttner et al. (15 July, p. 289), Table 1 was reset after the authors had approved their galleys. Through faulty proofreading at Science, an omitted line was not detected and the table as printed is meaningless. The body of Table 1 should read.     

Erratum

The photograph of a mechanical Triceratops in the issue of 20 April (Briefings, p. 307) was taken by Chip Clark of the Smithsonian Institution.     

Erratum

In the report "Transcontinental baselines and the rotation of the earth measured by radio interferometry" by I. I. Shapiro et al. [186, 920 (1974)], the heading for columns 5 and 6 of Table 1 should read "Atomic time-universal time (A.1-UT.1)" and the second entry of column 1 should be followed by a double dagger (double dagger).

Erratum

In two Research News articles by Arthur L. Robinson (24 Aug., p. 822; 14 Sept., p. 1137), the affiliations of three researchers were given incorrectly. Peter Smith and Thirumalai Venkatesan (24 Aug.) are with Bell Communications Research (Bellcore), not AT&T Bell Laboratories, as stated. David Hwang (14 Sept.) is also with Bellcore.     

Erratum

In the letter by M. F. Balandrin and J. A. Klocke (13 Sept., p. 1036), it was incorrectly stated that nabilone (Cesamet) has been approved for marketing by the Food and Drug Administration. Nabilone has not yet been approved by the FDA. The synthetic cannabinoid recently approved is in fact dronabinol (Marinol), a synthetic form of delta-9-tetra-hydrocannabinol. In the same letter, the affiliation of the authors should have been Native Plants, Inc., not Nature Plants, Inc. In the original article by Balandrin et al. (7 June, p. 1154), references 23 and 65 were incorrect. They should have been as follows: 23. Y. Aharonowitz and G. Cohen, Sci. Am. 245, 140 (September 1981); 65. D. E. Eveleigh, Sci. Am. 245, 154 (September 1981).

Erratum

In an article by Colin Norman on research on AIDS vaccines, "AIDS virus presents moving target" (News and Comment, 20 Dec., p. 1357), it was stated that the official goal for getting a vaccine ready for general use has been put back to 2000. The plan, drawn up by the Department of Health and Human Services, in fact sets the goal of "eliminating transmission of HTLV-III infection" by 2000 and assumes that "It is unlikely that a vaccine or therapy to substantially limit transmission will be generally available before 1990."     

Erratum

The fifth sentence in M. Granger Morgan's editorial "Risk research: When should we say "enough"? (23 May, p. 917) should have read, "But suppose that after significant effort a risk is not demonstrated."     

Erratum

In the review of Polycyclic Hydrocarbons and Carcinogensis (6 Dec., p. 1155), the fourth sentence of the third paragraph should have read: "A higher proportion of anti BPDE is produced in peroxide-dependent oxidation than in cytochrome P-450-dependent epoxidation, for example."     

Erratum

In the third paragraph of the briefing "New funds for AIDS drug centers" by Deborah M. Barnes (News & Comment, 25 July, p. 414), the name of the drug foscarnet was spelled incorrectly.     

Erratum

In the report "Peroxisomal defects in neonatal-onset and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophies" by S. Goldfischer et al. (4 Jan., p. 67), the first sentence of the abstract should have read: "Accumulation of very long chain fatty acids in X-linked and neonatal forms of adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) appears to be a consequence of deficient oxidation of very long chain fatty acids, a function that has been attributed to peroxisomes."     

Erratum

In the report "Mississippi deltaic wetland survival: sedimentation versus coastal submergence" by R. H. Baumann et al. (8 June 1984, p. 1093), the coordinates for Barataria Bay and for Fourleague Bay were incorrect. They should have been, respectively, 29 degrees 30'N, 90 degrees W, and 29 degrees 20'N, 91 degrees 10'W.     

Erratum

In figure 1 of the report "How bees remember flower shapes" by J. L. Gould (22 Mar., p. 1492), the results shown for the 24-clement patterns (K(1) and K(2)) should have been P > 0.05.     

Erratum

In the report "Antibodies to peptides detect new hepatitis B antigen: Serological correlation with hepatocellular carcinoma" by A. M. Moriarty, H. Alexander, G. B. Thornton, and R. A. Lerner (25 Jan., p. 429), the legend of table 1 should have begun, "Reactivity of human serum samples with peptide 99 and peptide 142," not "Reactivity of human liver samples...."     

Erratum

In Gina Kolata's article "Avoiding the schistosome's tricks" (Research News, 18 Jan., p. 285), Schistosoma mansoni and S. japonicum were inadvertently interchanged in the first full paragraph of the first column on page 286. Schistosoma japonicum lives in the mesenteric veins of the upper (small) intestine, and S. mansoni lives in the mesenteric veins of the lower (large) intestine.     

Erratum

In the report "Growth inhibitor from BSC-1 cells closely related to platelet type beta transforming growth factor" by Ronald F. Tucker et al. (9 Nov., p. 705), figures 1 and 2 on page 706 were incorrectly interchanged. The figure captions are correct.     

Erratum

In the letter "Nuclear test yields" by Jack F. Evernden and Lynn R. Sykes (17 Feb., p. 642), the symbol for surface wave magnitudes was incorrectly given as m(b) in line 39 of the second column of page 644. The correct symbol is m(s).     

Erratum

In the last paragraph of Arthur L. Robinson's Research News article "High spatial resolution ion microprobe" (14 Sept., p. 1137), J. Ronald Hass' name was misspelled.
