Several proofs given in [2] contain significant errors or gaps, although to our knowledge all results claimed there are provable. The needed corrections are described below. All references are to [2] unless otherwise stated, and we adopt the notation and terminology ofthat paper. 1 . Lemma 7. 1 0 asserts that the principles D\ and SRT^ are equivalent over RCAo. However, the proof that D\ implies SRT2 has a hidden application of B£!J and thus is actually carried out in RCA0 + BLĻ The problem is that, in the construction of H by adding one element at a time, each element c added to H must form a pair of the appropriate color with all previously chosen elements. To get the existence of such a c one seems to need BS^. This gap was recently closed by Chong, Lempp, and Yang, who showed in [3], Theorem 1.4, that, in RCA0, D^ implies BT%, and hence Dl implies SRT^. 2. Lemma 7.1 1 asserts that RT^ is equivalent to SRT^ & COH over RCA0. However, the proof given there that RT2 implies COH in RCAo is seriously flawed. This was pointed out by Joseph Mileti and later by Jeffrey Hirst. A proof that RT2 implies COH in RCAo + IS2 can easily be extracted from the proof of Theorem 12.5. Mileti, and simultaneously Lempp and Jockusch, observed that it is possible to eliminate the use of IS2 by effectively bounding in terms ofk the number of changes in the characteristic function of A when it is restricted to A^, so that proving that this number is finite requires only Si -induction. Thus, it is provable in RCAo that RT^ implies COH, and hence that RT^ is equivalent to SRT^ & COH. 3. Joseph Mileti pointed out a gap in the proof of the claim at the bottom of page 50 that a certain computable 2-coloring of pairs C is "jump universal" in the sense that for every C -homogeneous set A and every computable coloring C, there exists an infinite C-homogeneous set B with Bf 0', and let A be an infinite homogeneous set for C. Let d be the degree of A! , so that d » 0' . Let C be any computable 2-coloring of pairs. We must show that C has an infinite homogeneous set with jump of degree at most d. Let c be a degree with d » O 07, and let a be a degree with a' = c. Since
