A typographical error occurs twice on page 13: on line 10 and in Table 2 ‘CALCUMINAL’ should read ‘CACUMINAL’.

There is a missing line at the bottom of page 13. The sentence beginning: ‘The difference among fricatives of this kind …’should read as two sentences: ‘The difference among fricatives of this kind is further complicated by the fact that some are sibilants and some are non-sibilants. Bearing this in mind, we might even be able to incorporate the domed tongue shape that occurs in alveolopalatals as being included within this dimension, as shown in Table 2.’
