Paracompactness and metacompactness are characterized in terms of locally finite and point-finite semi-open refinements of open covers. It follows from one of these characterizations that a continuous image of a paracompact space under a pseudo-open and compact mapping is metacompact. 1. On semi-open covers. For the meaning of concepts used without definition in this paper, see [3]; note, however, that we do not require paracompact spaces or metacompact spaces to satisfy any separation axioms. Throughout the following, X denotes a topological space. Let f5 be a cover of X. For each x E X, we let (I) x = {L E I x E L}. Note that we have St(x, E) = U (fC)x for each x E X. If the set St(x, f5) is a neighborhood of x for each x E X, then we say that f5 is a semi-open cover of X. For some properties of semi-open covers, see [6]. When 9L is a cover of X, we say that 9, is an F-refinement of the cover f5 if each set N E at is contained in some finite union of sets of the family C. LEMMA 1.1. A locally finite semi-open cover of a topological space has a locally finite closed F-refinement. PROOF. Let C be a locally finite and semi-open cover of X. For each subfamily C' of CS, let K(C') = Cl(n C') Int(U (C ')). Note that if CD' is infinite, then K(C') =0. For each C' c CS, we have K(E') C U C'. To see this, let x E K(E'). Then x 4 Int(U (CS ')) and it follows, since x E int( U (C)j), that we have (Ox n Ct' #0, in other words, x E U C '. Since x E K((fE)x) for each x E X, it follows from the foregoing that the closed family Yu = {K(fE')I C' c C5) is an F-refinement of C5. To show that 'XC is locally finite, let x E X. Since C is locally finite, the subfamily C5* = { L E CIx E L) is finite and the open set 0 = XCl(U(f -E*)) contains x. If C' c and K(') n 0 #0, then [cl(n f )] n o 0 and hence (n t) n 0 #0. It follows that if K(C') n 0 #0, then CS' c E5*; hence the neighborhood 0 of x intersects only finitely many sets of the family YuC.
