Halford and Kerr [3] and Halford [4] discuss metrics which arise as solutions of Einstein's vacuum field equations and which have an algebraically degenerate Weyl tensor and an expanding repeated principal null direction. A number of the metrics which are explicitly listed appeared to be new. Here all of these explicit metrics are identified, either as well-known metrics or as particular cases of known metrics with arbitrary functions when these functions take various specific forms. Corrections are made to a number of results in these two papers. An overview of the status of homothetic motions in expanding algebraically degenerate vacuum spacetimes is also given.
