On Petition for Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
The appellants contend that our opinion misinterpreted the judgment of the Texas Court of Civil Appeals, and that this “might have the illegal effect of depriving them of one half of their 1100.5 mineral acres which were actually adjudged to them after five years of litigation in Texas.” We think their fears are unjustified. Our opinion malees obvious that we accept the Texas Court judgment as having determined the rights of the parties. However, we may have been too elliptical in attempting to summarize what the Texas Court held at page 647 of 279 S.W.2d, as amended by its memorandum opinion filed on De*9cember 7, 1955 (Appellee’s Appendix, pp. 39a-40a). Accordingly we will substitute for the sentence to which the appellants object, the following: It also rendered judgment that the Atwoods recover a one-sixteenth royalty and one-half of the bonuses and rentals paid on the south 2,000 acres of the 6,000 acre King tract; and one-half of the bonuses and rentals paid on 1,100.5 acres out of the 6,600.22 acre tract lying north of said King 6,000 acre tract.
