7th paragraph

The second paragraph under the heading Enter Generics says the following:
If you look at the source or Javadoc for the List class, for example, you'll see it defined something like this:
public class List<E> {

It is however defined:

public interface List<E> extends Collection<E> {
........
void add(int index, E element);
E get(int index);

Note from the Author or Editor:
They are correct. On page 225 the first line of the last example should read "public interface List<E> {"

2nd paragraph

The inheritance relationship between ObjectList and DateList should be in the reverse direction as described in the book.

"In the simplest case, supposing a DatetList type extends an ObjectList type..."

Note from the Author or Editor:
The reviewer is correct. "In the simplest case, supposing an ObjectList type extends a DateList type" should read "In the simplest case, supposing a DatetList type extends an ObjectList type"
