  The present note updates the information published in my recent monograph on
\underline{The Galaxies of the Local Group}. Highlights include (1) the
addition of the newly discovered Cetus dwarf spheroidal as a certain member of
the Local Group, (2) an improved distance for SagDIG, which now places this
object very close to the edge of the Local Group zero-velocity surface, (3)
more information on the evolutionary histories of some individual Local Group
members, and (4) improved distance determinations to, and luminosities for, a
number of Local Group members. These data increase the number of certain (or
probable) Local Group members to 36. The spatial distribution of these galaxies
supports Hubble's claim that the Local Group ``is isolated in the general
field.'' Presently available evidence suggests that star formation continued
much longer in many dwarf spheroidals than it did in the main body of the
Galactic halo. It is suggested that ``young'' globular clusters, such as
Ruprecht 106, might have formed in now defunct dwarf spheroidals. Assuming
SagDIG, which is the most remote Local Group galaxy, to lie on, or just inside,
the zero-velocity surface of the Local Group yields a dynamical age \gtrsim
17.9 \pm 2.7 Gyr.
