Abstract :
The commenters point out an error in Fig.2 of the above-named work of A.N. Bice et al. (see ibid., vol.37, no.2, p.696-701, April 1990). The error arose because Bice et al. inadvertently used a Gaussian distribution with sigma equal to 35% of the photopeak of 0.179 MeV. In a reply. Bice et al. acknowledge the error.<>
