Among the many forms of mistake in expression of the type referred to the following are given as illustrations:

Where the parties have agreed for the sale, lease or mortgage of a specific tract of realty, and by mistake such property is erroneously described in the written contract or conveyance, equity will reform such instrument.1 Mistake of this sort may be made in countless ways. Land which was to have been conveyed may be omitted;2 land which was not to be conveyed may be included;3 field-notes may be reversed;4 the quartersection may be misnamed;5 an erroneous number of the lot6 or block,7 or an erroneous street number8 may be inserted; the wrong point be taken as a corner ;9 or the length of a boundary line may be misstated.10 So an easement may be omitted,11 or only partially conveyed,12 or a reservation, as of timber,13 coal,14 or growing crops,15 may be omitted; or a reservation may be inserted by mistake.10 So a release intended to cover only part of the realty mortgaged may by mistake be so drawn as to include all the realty.17
