During the time between editions of the Review of Particle Physics
and the Particle Physics Booklet,
we often find
a number of errata. We correct most errata on our WWW pages.
If you should find errata that are not known to us,
please send mail to
pdg@lbl.gov.
We present the following errata along
with the corrected PostScript and PDF files:
