8. Examples of adjacent points on linking curves would be (10,5) and (11,3), or (10,5) and (8,6). The linking curve pattern is most easily seen from Fig. 1 A. When the pattern crosses the armchair line to denote structures with m > n, the n and m indices should be interchanged.

13. The Raman offset term, B, has generally been associated with bundling effects in nanotube spectra. We include it her only to obtain a better emperical fit to data. Assignment "a" remains preferred when B is forced to zero.
