  21. The energy E in (62), §8. III should be mU c2/2 instead of mU c2. so that (63) becomes dw0 = ((mU c)/(16 π2 h4)) Σ|V|2 d Ω. Thus, w0 and w in III should be multiplied by 2, while the mean life time τ= 1/w should be divided by 2.
  22. Recent experiments seem to indicate a value for mU nearer to 200 m than to 100 m.
