What's wrong with this zone file?

Following the directions in the 3rd edition of "DNS and BIND" I
hand-created a zone database from the data in my /etc/hosts file. When I
started named, it consistently complained about the same 2 records.
I inspected the file over and over and in several different editors, trying
to determine how these 2 records were different from all the others. They
looked good to me. Finally, I downloaded the utility h2n (used in the
book) and had it automatically create the files. Named still issues the
same complaints! The records complained about are the same, though now on
different lines in the file.
This is the complaint I get:
corona named[1011]: db.snydernet:25: IP Address error (192.168.0.08)
corona named[1011]: db.snydernet:27: IP Address error (192.168.0.09)
corona named[1011]: master zone "snydernet.lan" (IN) rejected due to errors (serial 1999061600)
And this is db.snydernet, the zone file containing the "bad" records:
@ IN SOA corona.snydernet.lan. root.corona.snydernet.lan. ( 1999061600 10800 3600 604800 86400 )
IN NS corona.snydernet.lan.

uranus IN MX 10 uranus.snydernet.lan.
neptune IN A 192.168.0.09
neptune IN MX 10 neptune.snydernet.lan.
Named always objects to the "uranus" and "neptune" IN records. If I
comment-out these 2 records, named will start up without error.
Can anyone tell me why these 2 specific records are considered
unacceptable? Thank you.
