Abstract
This first paragraph is an erratum to the paper cited above. In §2, postulate IV (p. 458, referring to the symbol which is only afterwards introduced, has to be replaced by the two propositions (a) and (a’) of p. 458. Nothing else has to be changed in §2 since it is these hypotheses which are actually used. In §3 the remark of p. 461 that law 5 is equivalent to IV must be replaced then, by the statement that law 5, though stronger than IVa and IVa’, still holds in projective as well as in affine spaces.
