In a previous paper [Homology cylinders: an enlargement of the mapping class group,
Algebr. Geom. Topol. 1 (2001) 243–270], a group Hg of homology cylinders over the
oriented surface of genus g is defined. A filtration of Hg is defined, using
the Goussarov-Habiro notion of finite-type. It is erroneously claimed that
this filtration essentially coincides with the relative weight filtration. The
present note corrects this error and studies the actual relation between the two
filtrations.
