 ## Within Custom Handler Types
 
 Like a handler function, a custom Handler type can *access* an Extractor by
-calling the ExtractorType::<...>::extract(req) function.  An Extractor 
+calling the ExtractorType::<...>::extract(&req) function.  An Extractor 
 *cannot* be passed as a parameter to a custom Handler type because a custom 
 Handler type must follow the ``handle`` function signature specified by the 
 Handler trait it implements.
