p 79: See response in Letter of Cornelisand Versieck, p 1709.

p 91: In the note added in proof, "131" should read "1.31."

p 241: In Table 1, "6.5" should read "65"; in the footnote to Table 2, "0.05" should read "0.5" and the next to last paragraph should read: "Finally, in a few instances we have compared the glucose values obtained by using a drop of sample according to the instructions, versus dipping the strips into the sample, and found some variance between the values obtained by the two methods."

p 344: Under "staining reagent," the correct concentration of orthophosphoric acid is 160 g/L (not 80 g/L). It is prepared by diluting 95 mL of the concentrated acid (850 g/kg, relative density 1.69 g/mL) to 1 L with distilled water.

p 418: ref. 94, cited in the first full paragraph, should read "84."

p 419: The volume number of ref. 1 should be 50, not 19.

p 502: Corrections to two equations: the term (S²_y - S²_x) should read (S²_y - S²_x)² and in the third equation in the second column delete the repetition of the term "(wx4)," which should only appear once.

p 531: In last full paragraph in column one, the word "propionate" in the next to last line should instead read "dimethyl sulfoxide."

p 614: References 21 and 22 are missing

p 727: With regard to this Letter, the authors later pointed out that although the first sentence states that glycosylated hemoglobins have a higher isoelectric point, glycosylation actually decreases the isoelectric point. Later (p 728) they speculated that the fast hemoglobin variant might be HbN-Baltimore (₂₂^95LysGlu), but two reference laboratories identified it as the slightly slower HbJ-Baltimore (₂₂^16GlyAsp).

p 735: In the middle column, the third full paragraph, "Department of Internal Medicine" should read "Department of Laboratory Medicine."

p 736: In column one, under Awards, the citation should have stated "in recognition of his contribution in the, field of clinical chemistry."

p 1199: Table 1 folate concentrations should be "mg/L," not rg/L.
