Dear Dr. Wilsons

i have received today a letter from Dr. Joshua Lederberg call-

ing to my attention an oversight on my part in relation to Reference 26
in the review "Bacterial Transformation Reactions" which appeared in

- the March number of Bacteriological Reviews. I was unaware that the
Microbial Genetics Bulletin did uot enjoy the status of a publication
and that material in it should be cited as a personal communication

© from the writer and with the author's consent. Dr. Lederberc has

asked that I request a correction be published in the next number of
Bacteriological Reviews listing Reference 26 as a personal cemmunication.

i regret greatly any embarrassment which this error on my part
may have caused Dr. Lecerbery anc the inconvenience which it may
occasion for you.

Thank you again for your assistance in the preparation of this
reviews

Sincerely yours,

Robert Austrian, M.D.
