Let X, X1, X2, …, be independent random variables with a common distribution function F(x) = P {X ≤ x}, x∈ℝ, and for each n∈ℕ, let X1, n ≤ … ≤ Xn, n denote the order statistics pertaining to the sample X1, …, Xn. We assume that 1–F(x) = x−1/cl(x), 0 < x < ∞, where l is some function slowly varying at infinity and c > 0 is any fixed number. The class of all such distribution functions will be denoted by .

Let X be a smooth projective variety of dimension n over the field of complex numbers. We denote by Kx the canonical bundle of X. By Mori's theory, if Kx is not numerically effective (i.e. if there exists a curve on X which has negative intersection number with Kx), then there exists an extremal ray ℝ+[C] on X and an elementary contraction fR: X → Y associated with ℝ+[C].fR is called a small contraction if it is bi-rational and an isomorphism in co-dimension one.

A case had been omitted in the calculation of Table 1 (p. 212). This we now correct. Table 1 should contain the following additional 3 lines.
