13. As is well known, the presence of the magnetic field causes a splitting of the electromagnetic mode into left- and right-hand polarized modes that propagate with different group velocities. Since the difference in group velocities is very small, however, we can neglect this effect and take the pulse to be arbitrarily polarized.
14. In the term with mixed derivatives we have substituted vg with ω/k. This minor change has no consequence for the physical results, but due to this the coefficients in the conservation laws to be presented in Sec. III become both simple and exact.

19. If the longitudinal electric field should induce significant particle acceleration, naturally the external magnetic field must be turned off. Actually, an adiabatic decrease of the external magnetic field would lead to a further increase in the longitudinal electric field since the transverse energy of the wake field would be transferred to the longitudinal ce:degrees of freedom.
