(Received 8 September 2014; accepted 8 September 2014; online 2 October 2014)

A number of corrections are made to the article by Nespolo et al. [Acta Cryst. (2014), A70, 106–125 ].

On p. 110, the first sentence of the second paragraph should start as follows: `Tables 2 to 5 list the 101 merohedral non-symmorphic types of space groups H that can give rise to 147 twin laws …'

Misalignment of some of the entries the third and fourth columns of Table 3[link] make this table difficult to read. It is reproduced here with better alignment of the entries in these columns.

Table 3
Classification of the 34 merohedral non-symmorphic space-group types H in the tetragonal crystal family, which can give rise to 42 twin laws

Three twin laws (indicated by the symbol {) have been split into two, because two different coset representatives give different results in terms of G, leading to a total of 45 cases. Among these, ten cannot be extended by a twofold operation s corresponding to the twin operation t (`no extension' in the table), and 16 more do have such an extension but none of the corresponding supergroups G has the same reflection conditions as H (`---' in the table). For these 26 cases (16 for class I and ten for class IIA) the G model is ruled out on the basis of the observed reflection conditions: H in the corresponding row is shown in bold, accompanied by dashes in the last column. For the other 19 cases, the group G# having the same reflection conditions as H is given; in the tetragonal crystal family, G# is always a supergroup of H. Entries are ordered according to the diffraction symbol, as given in LVB.

In Table 4[link], the asterisks (*) marking two of the entries in the fifth column should be omitted. The corrected table is given here.

Table 4
Classification of the 27 merohedral non-symmorphic space-group types H in the hexagonal crystal family, which can give rise to 61 twin laws

Among these, 29 cannot be extended by a twofold operation s corresponding to the twin operation t (`no extension' in the table), and two more have such an extension but none of the corresponding supergroups G has the same reflection conditions as H (`---' in the table): for these 31 cases (15 for class I and 16 for class IIA) the G model is ruled out on the basis of the observed reflection conditions: H in the corresponding row is shown in bold, accompanied by dashes in the last column. For the other 30 cases, the group G# having the same reflection conditions as H is given. Entries are ordered according to the diffraction symbol, as given in LVB.
