An article on Monday about an announcement by Egypt's state-owned natural gas company that it was ending a deal to ship gas to Israel because of a payment dispute misstated the year the two countries signed the Camp David peace accords. It was 1978, not 1979. (The Camp David peace treaty was signed in 1979.) The error was repeated in some copies on Tuesday in a report about Egypt in the World Briefing column and again in later editions when that report was expanded to an article.

An article on April 1 about concerns over radioactivity levels around former uranium mines on Navajo territory in Arizona, Utah and New Mexico referred imprecisely to Bob Darr, a public relations specialist who said that the federal government cannot afford to clean up all the mines. While he works for S.M. Stoller, a consulting firm that provides public affairs support to the Department of Energy under contract, he is not a spokesman for the department.

An article last Friday about Anthony Loverde, the second person reinstated to the military (with the same rank, pay and job that he held when he was deployed to Iraq) since the "don't ask, don't tell" policy was repealed last September misspelled the surname of the legal director for the Service members Legal Defense Network. He is David McKean, not David McCain.

NEW YORK

An article on Wednesday about an effort to bring food from the region's midsize farms to the Hunts Point wholesale produce market in the South Bronx misstated the number of states from which produce is brought to the market. The produce comes from New York, New Jersey and 47 other states — not from New York, New Jersey and 49 states, as stated in some editions, or from 47 states, as noted in other editions.

BUSINESS DAY

An interview on the DealBook page on Thursday with Michael H. Trotter, an author of two books about the economics and management of law firms, omitted two words in an answer by Mr. Trotter to a question about a practice of recruiting lawyers by offering them guaranteed contracts. Mr. Trotter said: "That's a very risky strategy. For one thing, people don't always produce what they promise; often not all the clients that they currently have move with them, so to give anyone a guaranteed contract based on their past success is basically a mistake." (The words "not all" were omitted.)

Because of an editing error, an article on Wednesday about the filing of a criminal complaint in connection with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig misstated the date in 2010 of the blast. It was on April 20, not on April 10.

METROPOLITAN

A listing in the Long Island calendar of events in some editions on Sunday misstated the day and the time for a performance by the North Shore Symphony Orchestra. It is scheduled for Sunday at 7:30 p.m., not Saturday at 8 p.m.

OBITUARIES

An obituary on Thursday about the chemist George Cowan, who helped build the first atomic bomb, misstated the name of the university from which he received a doctorate after World War II. It was the Carnegie Institute of Technology — not Carnegie Mellon University, which was established in 1967 when the Carnegie Institute of Technology merged with the Mellon Institute.
