Six printing errors are corrected in the Report by Tolédano et al. [Acta Cryst. (2001)[Tolédano, J.-C., Berry, R. S., Brown, P. J., Glazer, A. M., Metselaar, R., Pandey, D., Perez-Mato, J. M., Roth, R. S. & Abrahams, S. C. (2001). Acta Cryst. A57, 614-626.], A57, 614-626]. The first is in §2.1 , the fourth last sentence of which should read ``Although such nicknames do not always describe the magnetic character of the substance explicitly, since `AF' for example may be mistaken for antiferroelectric, this lack is compensated for by the fifth and sixth fields (see the examples in §§3.1-3.5 ).'' The second is in §3.4 , second field of the AF phase, which should read `<260 K'. The third is in §4.5 , the final sentence of which should be `However, certain materials display ferroic properties in the incommensurate phase (cf. §5.3)'. The fourth is in §5.1 , sixth field of phase II, which should read `Incommensurate. Modulation: [delta] ~ 0.78. Displacive modulation.'. The fifth is in §6 , the third sentence of which should read ``While accepting this definition, it is necessary to point out, however, that the boundary between phases in the examples below need not be `thermodynamically abrupt' (i.e. involve a latent heat and discontinuities in the physical quantities).''. The final error is in §6.1 , sixth field of the FT phase, which should read `FT | 0.45  <  x  <  1 | P4mm (99) | Z = 1 | Ferroelectric and ferroelastic | All phases pseudo-cubic perovskites. No perovskite octahedral tilts; 6 variants.'.

Keywords: phase transition; nomenclature.
