CORRIGENDA

In Yang, Shung-Jun, 1964 Numerical chromosome instbility in Nicotiana hybrids. I. Interplant variation among offspring of amphiploids. Genetics 50: 745–756. (October).

The values in the columns headed "fractions of gametes affected" in Tables 4, 5 and 6 should be divided by 2 since only losses of A, but not of a, from Aa gametes would affect observed segregation rates. As an example, the first row of columns c, d, f and f' in Table 4 should read frac12, 0.0227, 0.0227 and 43.0:1, respectively. The resulting segregation ratios (column f') would be increased. Except for allopolyploids with completely preferential pairing (not the present cases) the corrections would alter the ratios only slightly and do not affect the conclusions drawn in the paper.
