Summary:
One of the results in my previous paper {\it On torsionfree classes which are not precover classes\/}, preprint, Corollary 3, states that for every hereditary torsion theory $\tau$ for the category $R$-mod with $\tau \geq\sigma$, $\sigma$ being Goldie's torsion theory, the class of all $\tau$-torsionfree modules forms a (pre)cover class if and only if $\tau$ is of finite type. The purpose of this note is to show that all members of the countable set $\frak M = \{R, R/\sigma (R), R[x_1,\dots ,x_n], R[x_1,\dots ,x_n]/\sigma(R[x_1,\dots ,x_n]), n <\omega \}$ of rings have the property that the class of all non-singular left modules forms a (pre)cover class if and only if this holds for an arbitrary member of this set.
