I have received correspondence claiming that Lemma 1 of my paper [Reference Lei1] follows as a particular case of the Theorem stated in Section 1 of [Reference Wagon and Wilf2]. I want to acknowledge that this claim is correct and apologise for my oversight. I was unaware of [Reference Wagon and Wilf2] when I wrote [Reference Lei1].
