✦ Synopsis
Contrary to the statements of Gutowski et al., the difference between the true dissociation energy and the counterpoisecorrected calculation of the dissociation energy is shown to be entirely a non-additive correction for basis set incompleteness.

A new definition is suggested for basis set superposition error, Other sources of basis set incompleteness error in the interaction energy are considered. Comparison is made with the counterpoise correction. An explanation is provided for the tendency in water and HF dimers for the counterpoise-corr
It is pointed out that my arguments on the effects of contractions of the relativistic basis sets on the total energies are made in the sense of the absolute magnitude while Ishikawa's are made in the sense of the relative magnitude. Hence they do not contradict each other.
## Abstract We evaluate the performance of ten functionals (B3LYP, M05, M05‐2X, M06, M06‐2X, B2PLYP, B2PLYPD, X3LYP, B97D, and MPWB1K) in combination with 16 basis sets ranging in complexity from 6‐31G(d) to aug‐cc‐pV5Z for the calculation of the H‐bonded water dimer with the goal of defining which
I thank Dr. Berger for his comments on an earlier paper of mine (Hutton 1977) and welcome this opportunity to clarify and expand on various aspects of that work. Berger (1980) has divided the Creeslough Formation in its type area into a lower 'calcareous' unit (occurring in the SE) and an upper pel
