I have learned of an error in my paper [1], namely in the proof of part (iii) of Theorem 2. On line 10 of page 432 it is claimed that $\mathscr{N}(L')=1+(q-1)\mathscr{N}(L)$, but this is not necessarily true.
An explanation of the error, and a proof of a slightly stronger version of Theorem 2 (iii), is given by Leep and Petrik [2]. The author is grateful to Pete Clark for pointing out this error, and to David Leep and Rachel Petrik for informing me of their alternative treatment.
