    Are the peak B magnitudes in Table 5 (Low-z Hamuy and Riess) K-corrected
    or not? Some of them have non-negligible K-corrections (1996ab, z =
    0.125 is a good example). The only reference is b: Measurement
    uncertainties as for note 2 in Table 3. If I assume that note 2 means
    note b in table 3, then 'This value has been K-corrected and
    corrected for Galactic E(B-V) extinction', which isn't really a statment
    about measurement uncertainties, but seems to indicate that they
    have been K-corrected.

    In any case, if we provide non-K-corrected values for all of the High-z
    SNe, for consistency we should do the same at lower redshifts. So I
    think you should add another column to table 5 giving the non-corrected
    magnitudes.

    Also -- minor note: Table 5 note d runs onto the same line as note c
    for some reason.
