The bottom entry of column 2, Table 2, page 455, should read ‘–20’ instead of ‘20’. Recent work suggests the possibility of a systematic error as large as ˜ –3 deg in ø(‘spacecraft’ co-ordinates) of Table 1, page 453. The calculations have been repeated with the ø values decreased by 2·8 deg, with the result that none of the conclusions of the paper are changed since the detailed numerical results are not significantly different.

On page 463, the fifteenth of the list of references should read:
