In my earlier paper [1] I made the claim that there are three groups in Hall and Senior's book “The Groups of Order 2n(n ≤ 6)” that are in error (groups 64/140, 64/141, 64/143). However, it has been pointed out to me by Franz Lemermeyer that I made the unfortunate oversight of using the definition [x, y] = xyx−1y−1 for the commutator whereas Hall and Senion use the definition [x, y] = x−1y−1xy (see [2]). With this correction there is no problem with the above three groups in Hall and Senior.
