PAGE 10. In Record of Service of the Officers of Co. D, read : "JOHN MEAD, Second Lieutenant, served as such from June 11, 1862, to Sept. 16, 1863," rather than as now.
PAGE 15. In List of those Mustered-Out in Spring of '65, read : "George Adley," instead of "George Aelly."
PAGE 15. Read "Dennis R. Jordan," instead of "Dennis K. Jordan. "
PAGE 15. In "Summary, at foot of page, read : "Discharged by Onder, 2; Mustered-Out by Reason of Expiration of Term, (or in anticipation thereof ) 19." Those discharged by order are Alfred Corbett and John E. Gatchell.
PAGE 16. In Roster of Original Organization of Co. G, read "Violette, Thomas," instead of "Vioette, Thomas."
PAGE 18. In Record of Service of Officers, Co. I, it should appear that Capt. John F. Cal- laghan's resignation took effect Jan. 33, 1866," rather than "Jan., '65," as stated.

THE FIFTEENTH MAINE REGIMENT AS FINALLY MUSTERED OUT.
BREVET APPOINTMENTS.
Soon after the muster-out of the regiment a considerable number of the Fifteenth officers were honored with Brevet Appointments, intended, no doubt, as " rewards of merit." The justice of these appointments-their significance, if any is to be attached -- or the stand- ard of " merit " governing the awards-must necessarily be a subject as to which there is like- ly to be some diversity of opinion. The appointments, as a general rule, take effect March 13, 1865. They are signed by the President and countersigned by the Secretary of War, and are confirmed by the United States Senate. As a rule the appointments are conferred " for meritorious services during the war," the exceptions to this rule being that Col. Drew's brevet appointments were for " faithful and meritorious services," Col. Joyce's for "gallant and mer- itorious services," and Maj. Martin's " for gallant and meritorious services at the battle of Pleasant Hill, La." The following are the appointments :
TO BE BRIGADIER GENERALS BY BREVET. - Col. Isaac Dyer and Brevet Colonel Benjamin B. . Murray, Jr.
TO BE COLONELS BY BREVET. - Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin B, Murray, Jr .; Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Franklin M. Drew ; Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Laurens J. Joyce.
TO BE LIEUTENANT COLONELS BY BREVET. - Major Franklin M. Drew, Brevet Maj. Laurens J. Joyce.

ERRATA.
Page 16, Appendix. Capt. John B. Nickeis, in the record of service of officers, should be credited with service as Captain of Co. H, from Oct. 19, 1863, to March 13th. 1865.
Page 15, Appendix. Stephen Dolly was transferred to Veteran Reserve Corps in 1866. Page 4, Appendix. Private James Gibson, Co. A, is inadvertently omitted from roll. He joined as a recruit Sept. 20, 1564, and was mustered-out with the regiment at final muster-out. He has been in some way intermixed with Thomas Gibson, of same company.
