Addendum for Index theory and quaternionic K\"ahler manifolds by S. Salamon received on 16 February 1996 from the author ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proofs of Theorems 4.1 and 5.4 are now published in [] C. LeBrun, S. Salamon: Strong rigidity of positive quaternion-K\"ahler manifolds, Invent. Math. 118 (1994), 109--132. Further interpretations of the results of Section 5 will appear in [] K. Galicki, S. Salamon: Betti numbers of 3-Sasakian manifolds, Geom. Dedicata. Some analogous results for hyper-K\"ahler manifolds can be found in [] S.M. Salamon: On the cohomology of K\"ahler and hyper-K\"ahler manifolds, Topology 35 (1996), 137--155.
