Numerical coefficients are incorrect at the end of § 8 and in two places in the summary in § 9 of Catto (Reference Catto2018). The material before (8.39) is unaffected. To evaluate the pitch angle integral in (8.39),
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}\sqrt{2k\ell n(\sqrt{2k})}$
with
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}=(1-\unicode[STIX]{x1D705})/8$
should have been used. And on the right-hand side of (8.40) there is a
$4\unicode[STIX]{x03C0}$
missing in the denominator. The overall effect is to increase the size of the coefficients of the fluxes and diffusivities by
$16/\unicode[STIX]{x03C0}$
and to remove the 64 from all
$\ell n(\sqrt{2k\ell n(\sqrt{2k})})$
and
$\ell n(\sqrt{2k_{0}\ell n(\sqrt{2k_{0}})})$
terms. Correcting these errors (8.39), (8.40), (8.42) and (8.43) become as follows:

In addition, the erroneous
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}_{s}$
has been removed from the numerator of (8.42). These errors in numerical coefficients alter (9.3) and (9.4) which become
