1992, Volume 96 Robert M. Mazo' and Joho Gwlander: Nonequilibrium Concentration Concentration Fluctuations in Nonideal Reacting Systems Page 3959. The description of the proposed modification of eq 5 , given in the last paragraph, is not complete. In addition to introducing the activity coefficients of the reacting species, one must divide the transition rate by the activity coefficient of the activated complex. This is necessary to make the formalism consistent with transition-state theory and with the BronstedBjerrum theory of the primary kinetic salt effect.' This change will not affect the rest of the paper, which is largely independent of the detailed form of the transition rates. In particular, the Appendix is unaffected, since the principle of detailed balance requires that the transition states for the forward and backward reactions must be the same. We thank Professor John Ross pointing out these matters to us. ( 1 ) Fowler, R.; Guggenheim, E. A. Statistical Thermodynamics; Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, 1952; p 536 et seq.
