Non-invariant solutions of the Boyer-Finley equation determine exact solutions of the Einstein field equations with only one rotational Killing vector. For the case of Euclidean signature such a metric was constructed by Calderbank and Tod. Recently Martina, Sheftel and Winternitz applied the method of group foliation to the Boyer-Finley equation and reproduced the Calderbank-Tod solution together with new solutions. We point out that in the case of ultra-hyperbolic signature there exist three inequivalent forms of metric. Only one of these can be obtained by analytic continuation from the Calderbank-Tod solution whereas the other two are new.
