Supernova search charts

To those who has a set of the supernova search charts and handbook, I have a question for you. I have the 236 charts as stated on the back of the box, I thought I have the complete set. When I check with the table in the handbook, I find out that 6 galaxies are missing in the charts. Does any of you notice about this? Is this an errata in the handbook or it is something missing there?
Thanks for reading and answer.
Josh.

Answer found in the handbook!

Obviously the answer is just at my finger tip! I should have recalled that when I read the handbook before this. The 6 galaxies that I referred to: Scl Dwarf, IC1613, NGC147, NGC185, NGC6221 and NGC6300, which are listed in the table of charted galaxies in the handbook, are actually excluded by the author as mentioned in Chapter 3 of the handbook "The Selection of Galaxies". So it does appear that the handbook contains an errata on this.
Thanks for reading.

Regard,
Josh
