18. Siepmann et al. (Ref. 15) recently pointed out that there is an error in the tail corrections for some of the thermodynamic properties computed in the original calculations of Siepmann and co-workers, (Ref. 13, 14), which led to coexistence curves which differ from those reported. Two recent papers by M. G. Martin and J. I. Siepmann, J. Phys. Chem. B102, 2569 (1998) and
19. CH2 are roughly 10% and 2% smaller than in model A, respectively. While these differences have an effect on the liquid-gas phase diagram for small n, they are not large enough to make a significant change in the self-diffusion constant and viscosity.
