3. On page 8107, in the first column, in the second full paragraph,
in the 32d line, ``24, and 26)'' should read ``24, 26, and 27)''.
4. On page 8109, in the first column, under the section ``E. Nature
of the Food Eligible to Bear the Claim'', in the first paragraph, in
the ninth and tenth lines, ``(7 g/d was'' should read ``(7 g/d) was''.
7. On page 8114, in the second column, in the first full paragraph,
in the 18th line, ``201(m)'' should read ``201(n)''.
8. On page 8118, in the first column, in Reference number 15, in
the third and forth lines, ``LDL-Synthesis'' should read ``LDL-
Cholesterol''.

Trials with Hypercholesterolemics: Psyllium and Coronary Heart Disease,
the reference numbers used to identify the study references are
