v9i1r12 — Comment by the author, Jun 7, 2009.
The author wishes to thank Judith Egan for her careful reading of this paper and for pointing out the following errors:
- In the second paragraph on Page 9, all references to A11 should be to A00. In the same paragraph bordered by siga should say bordered by siga.
- The value given in the table on page 10 for the most 2-plexes in LS(7)\C(7) is incorrect. Rather than 4295 it should say 4368.
- The last display on page 13 should say Bjj=m2+j rather than Bjj=m2+jj.
- On page 14, the italicised words should be added to the
following sentence in the summary:
In doing so we strengthen Ryser's conjecture that every latin square of odd order has a transversal.
