CORRECTIONS

In the obituary of W. H. Copson in the 1972 edition, it was stated that he performed the hat-trick against Worcestershire in 1937. This is incorrect; it was against Lancashire.

Canney, Harold, in the 1972 Obituaries should read Cranney, Harold.

H. L. Hever died in 1970, not 1971 as stated in the 1972 Obituaries.
