1. Point (3) of the main theorem of our paper [3, Theorem 1.1] is incorrect: this note corrects the main and consequential errors, and shows that (after minor adjustments) almost all the other results of [3], including the remaining seven points of Theorem 1.1, remain correct.

2. The theme of [3] was a family of functors G,(–), defined on the category of rings with unity for each cardinal t. For t = 0, 1, the results of [3] are unchanged, but, for 2≤t<∞, major, and, for t infinite, less major, corrections are necessary; we therefore assume 2≤t. Terminology and notation are standard or as in [3], and I would like to thank A. W. Chatters and an anonymous referee for comments which prompted this correction.
