S ARRIS and W ILKENING (1977) have recently proposed some non‐parametric trend tests, which they view as extensions of M OSTELLER 'S test of predicted order. The present paper notes some errors in S ARRIS and W ILKENING 's determination of significance levels for these tests, and describes how these errors may be corrected.
