The surface distribution of the C/M ratio across M 33 is shown in Fig. 1, while Fig. 2 shows the map corresponding to twice a lower resolution. These figures substitute Figs. 10 and 11 in the published version of the paper that show, instead, the distribution of the M/C ratio across the galaxy. The new figures show more clearly that regions with higher C/M ratio and lower [Fe/H] abundance occupy the outer part of the galaxy and delineate a metal-poor ring.

Distribution of the C/M ratio across M 33. C-rich and O-rich AGB stars above the tip of the RGB have been selected using slanted lines ( top) or vertical lines (bottom). Darker regions correspond to higher ratios. Contours are at: 0.2, 0.6, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, and 2.4 in the top panel, and at 0.15, 0.35 and 0.55 in the bottom panel.

The same as the bottom panel of Fig. 1 but using bins of  $2.4^{\prime }$. Contours are at: 0.28, 0.38, 0.48, and 0.68.
