In the table of
SUPERABUNDANT NUMBERS LESS THAN 10 to the 18th
on p. 468 :

in line 27
for     4.368           read    4.363
in line 38 = top of the rightmore segment with abundancy 4.855
for     3 to the 2      read    3 to the 3

Note that correct data for  3 to the 2  already appears in line 35 .
Note that the abundancies in the table are truncated , not rounded .

Not to be so obscure about it , the superabundant numbers concerned and
their abundancies are :
  332640 = 2^5 * 3^3 * 5   * 7 * 11         4.36363636
 7207200 = 2^5 * 3^2 * 5^2 * 7 * 11 * 13    4.73454545
21621600 = 2^5 * 3^3 * 5^2 * 7 * 11 * 13    4.85594406

All other values in this table have been verified .
