    By incorporating the flavor-dependent quark-antiquark annihilation amplitude into the mass-squared matrix describing the mixing of the isoscalar states of a meson nonet, the new version of Schwinger's nonet mass formula which holds with a high accuracy for the 0−+0^{-+}, 1−−1^{--}, 2++2^{++}, 2−+2^{-+} and 3−−3^{--} nonets is derived and the mixing angle of isoscalar octet-singlet for these nonets is obtained. In particular, the mixing angle of isoscalar octet-singlet for pseudoscalar nonet is determined to take the value of −12.92∘-12.92^\circ, which is in agreement with the value of −13∘∼−17∘-13^\circ\sim-17^\circ deduced from a rather exhaustive and up-to-date analysis of data. It is also pointed out that the omission of the flavor-dependent qqˉq\bar{q} annihilation effect might be a factor resulting in the invalidity of Schwinger's original nonet mass formula for pseudoscalar nonet.Comment: Latex, 7 page
