The first is the assignment in the S8 point group of (Rx, Ry) to the E1 irreducible representation rather than E3. The second is a reversal of column labeling of 2SS and 2S83 classes in the D8h group character table. These errors may trace back to 1955 and 1971 publications, respectively. A list of literature sources containing these errors is presented.
