Part (d) of Fig. 8 of this paper was unfortunately omitted from the printed article. The complete figure and its caption are reproduced here:

Fig. 8 A helicoidal ferrielectric phase in spr3 (q = 2/5?) observed in compound 8.⁵⁰ (a) A micrograph of a ca.100 μm thick free-standing film under temperature gradient and characteristic conoscopic figures under applied electric fields in FI_L (q = 2/5?) and SC_μ* (q = 1/3); (b) Apparent tilt angle vs. temperature (position in the micrograph (a)) determined by measuring center-shift of conoscopic figures under an applied electric field; (c) Temperature variation of selective reflection peaks due to the FI_L and SC_μ* helicoidal structures; (d) Laser light diffraction patterns obtained at various temperatures in a 350 μm thick cell aligned homogeneously using a magnetic field. The patterns are shown at 0.1 °C intervals and their ordinate zeros are shifted upwards constantly by one division.

In Table 4 (on page 2077), the last four entries beneath the column headings "Mixture no." and "Mixing ratios/mol" were incorrect, and should read as follows:

The rest of the Table is unaltered.
