On p. 206, in Table 6.7, line (N2), the group should be $3 sup 6 . 2 . M sub 12$. In the statement of Theorem 6.6.1, replace `$mu = 1$' by `$mu <= 2$'. In the subsequent discussion replace `$mu > 1$' by `$mu > 2$'. ADDITION. On p. 206, at the end of Section 6.6, add: .LP Mathon (pers. comm.) showed that the Krein condition $q sub 33 sup 2 >= 0$ for regular near hexagons is equivalent to $t <= s sup 3 + ( mu - 1)(s sup 2 - s + 1)$ if $s > 1$.

CORRECTION. On p.\|210, in the description of the Robertson-Wegner graph it is stated that the full group has order 20 with three point orbits. Gordon Royle pointed out that in fact the full group has order 120 and has two point orbits (of sizes 10, 20). Of course this means that there is a much nicer description, and indeed there is: The 30 vertices are the 20 vertices of the dodecahedron and the 10 4-subsets of the dodecahedron that have all internal distances 3; the adjacencies are the obvious ones: the dodecahedron is an induced subgraph of valency 3, each 4-subset is adjacent to its 4 elements and to the antipodal 4-subset. This description shows the (full) group $2 times Alt(5)$. It is also stated that the subgraph induced by 3 pentagons and 3 pentagrams in the Hoffman-Singleton graph has automorphism group of order 10. Gordon Royle points out that the order is 20 (with orbit sizes {5,5,10,10}). Part of the confusion is caused by the fact that the pictures drawn in Wong [cages, a survey] do not correspond to the descriptions given. Quoting Royle [email, 951222]: the Robertson-Wegner graph is Wong's figure 4 (not 5); the 3 pentagons + 3 pentagraphs graph is Wong's figure 5 (not 4). Wong's figure 6 is a (5,5)-cage constructed by Foster, with group of order 30 and orbit sizes {15,15}. It is rumoured that there is precisely one further (5,5)-cage. CORRECTION. On p. 210, in the discussion of the (7,6)-cage, change `Apparently ... $L sub 2 (7)$' into `However, as Baker [pers. comm.] (see also .SC Baker .[[ Baker automorphisms elliptic 1983 .]], p. 96) pointed out, the elliptic semiplane is self-dual, and in fact $Aut GAM isom 3 cdot Alt (7) . 2$, acting transitively on $GAM$.
