Mistake in Alexander Wood's "The Physics of Music" ?

Hi

Can anyone please help me. I've been studying the origin of the
Pythagorean Scale. If you own the classic book titled, "The Physics
of Music" by Alexander Wood 7th edition revised by J.M. Bowsher,
please turn to page 184. On page 184 there is a table which looks
like this:

Note ................ d eb d# Fb e f e# gb f#
Interval above "c" 204 294 314 384 408 498 522 588 612

The table lists d# as being 314 cents. According to my calculations,
d# should be 318 Cents. Can anyone verify this?

The method for figuring out the "cents" related to each frequency can
be found starting at the bottom of page 182.

Thank you,
Wally

Yes. It should be 317.6 cents for a Pythagorean scale.
