    Summary
    In a recent paper of Ishak (Heat Mass Transfer, doi:10.1007/s00231-009-0552-3, 2009) the similarity solutions of the title problem have been investigated numerically in some detail. The present note shows, however, that with the aid of a simple rescaling of the Prandtl number, the results reported by Ishak can easily be recovered from the well known solution of the same problem, without the effect of thermal radiation
