An erroneous equation and some consequently underestimated values of dislocation densities in the paper by Cerný et al. [J. Appl. Cryst. (2000), 33, 997-1005 ] are corrected.

In the paper by Cerný et al. (2000), equation (4) on page 998 was erroneously interpreted and used in the calculations. The correct equation is

$[A = [1 - \ln (\ln P)/(4 \ln P)]^{-1 }.]$

The only consequence of this error is that some values of the dislocation densities as given in Table 2 and Fig. 3 of that paper are slightly underestimated. Correct values of the dislocation densities for all studied compounds are given in Table 1 herein. The value for LaNi₅ is, however, still lower by one order of magnitude than the value determined for the same compound by Wu et al. (1998).
