As a result of an editing error, the word “and” is missing from the third sentence of the first paragraph of Myron L. Cohen's article, “Lineage Organization in North China” [49.3 (August): 509]. The sentence should read, “The characteristics of the lineages in Yangmansa, a village approximately seventy-five kilometers south of Beijing, appear to have been typical of this broader pattern and considerably different from those associated with the southeastern model that has dominated the anthropological literature.” Without the “and,” the sentence implies that these lineages differ only from the southeastern model, whereas Professor Cohen intended to say the lineages are both typical and different. The editor regrets the error.
