Evolution. In the article “Were bowerbirds part of the New Zealand fauna?” by Les Christidis, Peter R. Leeton, and Michael Westerman, which appeared in number 9, April 30, 1996, of Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (93, 3898–3901), the correct citations for three of the sequences used were not given. In Materials and Methods the line “Sequences of other relevant taxa were obtained from the literature (14)” should read “Sequences of other relevant taxa were obtained from the literature (14) and GenBank (accession nos. U10368U10368, -10366, and -10373).” The sequences in question had been deposited in GenBank by R. Kusmierski and were for the species Amblyornis inornatus, Amblyornis subalaris, and Chlamydera cerviniventris.
