  Comments:
'corrected' readings come from the actual wikipedia articles for each of the individual entries, kojien's table in its えと entry, and (when they exist) the alternate readings in kokugo dictionaries for the individual entries. as well as plain old consistency...  you could throw の in between the readings of any of these kanji, like つちのと[の]とり.  but there's no reason to include the の for only ~some~ of the entries

All of these wrong readings come from the table on this page: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/干支

Your corrected meaning matches: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/己酉

Sadly, this one is not in either koj or daij. Do you have another source for these readings? (I must say that they do seem to be good)
