We would like to thank Harold Donnelly for pointing out that in the conclusion of Theorem 3.3, the manifold M might not necessarily split into Riemannian product of N with a Riemann surface S/D o. The correct conclusion is that, for each end e of M, it is the total space of a holomorphic fibration over a complete Riemann surface with boundary 2 with totally geodesic fibres given by N. The Riemann surface is homeomorphic to a half cylinder S 1 x R + and has nonnegative Gaussian curvature. The fibre N is a compact K/ihler manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature. Moreover, the metric of M is locally given by the product metric of 2 x N. To clarify this point, let us elaborate on the argument. On page 590, paragraph 3, we have shown that at each end, the level sets of the holomorphic function h must be totally geodesic at the regular values of H. Since the limit of totally geodesic submanifolds is itself a smooth totally geodesic submanifold, we conclude that all the level sets are in fact totally geodesic submanifolds of M. We claim that locally, the metric splits into a product metric. To see this, let us pick an or thonormal frame field {el . . . . , ezra} of M which has the property that {el . . . . , e2,,-2} are tangent to the level sets of h, e2,,1 = V fl, and em= JVf l . Since the Busemann function fl satisfies IV fll -= 1 and its integral curves are geodesics, we see that V e . . . . e2m_ 1=0. To establish the splitting locally, it suffices to show that the involutive distribution T spanned by {e~, ..., e2,,-2} is parallel. This is equivalent to proving that (Vxe i , e v ) = 0 for all vector X tangent to M, for all 1 < i_< 2 m 2, and for all 2 m 1 < v < 2 m. If X = e j for some l < j < 2 m 2 , this is clearly valid due to the fact that the level sets of h are totally geodesic submanifolds. The term
