The sentence commencing on line 35 of the first column should read: The respective heats and entropies of association calculated from the values of Kl and Kz and the heats of dilution (Figure 6) in an analogous way as described before are +650 cal./mole, f1600 cal./mole, - 1.60 e.u./mob, and $2.23 e.u./mole.-M.

The view that dimerization of nitric acid has been found in a solution of a trialkylamine in toluene has been erroneously attributed to Hogfeldt and Fredlund (ref. 19), being based on a pre-publication copy of their paper [Acttc Chem. Xcand., 18, 543 (l964)], kindly supplied by Dr. Hogfeldt. Their paper only supports the formation of the dimeric complex (R3N HN0&. The formation of the species RaNH+. (Nos“Os)has, however, recently been proposed by Tuck and coworkers [J. Bullock, s. Choi, D. Goodrick, D. Tuck, and E. Woodhouse, J . Phys. Chem., 68, 2687 (1964)l to explain their data on similar systems. The conclusions of the present paper are not based on species which may be present in amine systemfi, however.-Y. MARCUS. Harold W.

I n the Abstract, the value of the heat of formation of EuClz(s) is reported incorrectly as -195.8 kcal./mole; it should be the same as that found in the text on p. 995, viz., - 192.8 kcal./mole.-C.

In column 2, lines 13-16, a kinetic equation of Majer, Capey, and Robb [J. R. Majer, W. D. Capey, and J. C. Robb, Nature, 203, 294 (1964)l was termed inexact and a “more exact” formulation was cited (D. W. Placzek, Ph.D. Thesis, University of Washington, 1965). We thank Professor Robb for calling our attention to an arithmetic error in our derivation, correction of which renders it into his form which is exact. No results, computations, or conclusions are affected.-B. S. RABINOVITCH.
M. L. Hyder : The Radiolysis of Aqueous Nitrate Solutions. Page 1858. A systematic error has been found in the calibration techniques used in this work which decreases all G values reported in the article. Correct G values may be obtained by multiplying the published values by 0.83. As a result, the measured value of G,,,- is decreased to 3.2 and the derived value of G - E ~ Obecomes 3.9, These values are close t o those reported by others who have studied alkaline solutions, including, in particular, Cheek and Linnenbom [C. H. Cheek and V. J. Linnenbom, J . Phys. Chem., 67,1856 (1963)l. The qualitative conclusions discussed in this article are not affected by t,his correction.-M. L. HYDER.

I n Table 11, Professor C. W. Davies has brought to our attention that the calculated minima in the degree of dissociation curves are much dependent upon the particular activity coefficient equation used. The relationship log f* = -A z / Z gives the best agreement between calculated and observed values for the dissociation minima. The third column of Table 11, calculated on the basis of this limiting Debye-Huckel equation, should be corrected to read 1.92, 2.21, and 2.43 for t!he temperatures 0, -15, and -30”, respectively. The factor 5.3 is ehinated.-JAcK G. KAY. C. T. Stubblefield, J. L. Rutledge, and R. Phillips:

Douglas C . Poland and Harold A. Scheraga: Hydrophobic Bonding and Micelle Stability. Page 2442. We erroneously stated that “there is a glaring discrepancy between theory and experiment when the dependence of AN (for formation of the micelles) on chain length is considered.” Actually, the experimental AH becomes more negative as chain length increases. This is exactly what the theory predicts [(a) G. Nemethy and H. A. Scheraga, J . Chem. Phys., 36, 3401 (1962), Figure 7 . Figure 7 applies t o the solution process; in applying it to the reverse process, the sign of AH must be changed. (b) G. Nemethy and H. A. Scheraga, J . Phys. Chem., 66, 1773 (1962), eq. 21 and the discussion following Table XI.] for straight-chain hydrocarbons; in the branched side chains of amino acids, the enthalpy of formation of a hydrophobic bond does become more positive as one goes from alaninealanine to valine-valine to isoleucine-isoleucine (either in pair-

wise or in multiple interactions). Thus, all the experimental facts concerning the micelles discussed in the paper are in agreement with the theory (see ref. a and b above).

2-n-Propylcyclopentanone” appears to be the first instance in which the Norrish type I1 reaction has been observed to involve an alicyclic ketone. Bamford and Norrish [J. Chem. Xoc., 1521 (1938)] found that 1-menthone was photolyzed almost exclusively by this mechanism to propylene and 3-methylcyclohexanone.
