BJHS, 22, pp. 460–462. In two reviews of the following books, Philosophy of Biology Today by Michael Ruse, and Science as a Process: An Evolutionary Account of the Social and Conceptual Development of Science by David L. Hull, both of which were reviewed by Keith Vernon, a column has been misplaced. The left-hand column on p. 462 should appear before the left-hand column on p. 461. The publisher apologizes for this mistake and regrets any inconvenience caused by it.
