The

quoted

article appears in this

journal

Vol. XX, 1974, 153-188. I think the last sentence on p. 185

requires

correction. After

showing

that some of

P. Gunther’s

counterexamples

to the « Hadamard

Conjecture »

are sym- metric the author states on the bottom of p. 185:

« This shows that Hadamard’s

conjecture

is not true for the equa- tion

(7.9)

on a

symmetric

space. Thus the conclusion of

Helgason. [16],

p. 68 is false. »

According

to a communication from the author the conclusion to

which he is

referring

is the

following

sentence in my paper

[76],

p. 68:

« If M is

symmetric

the evidence available seems to indicate that

« Hadamard’s

conjecture » might

hold for the pure

equation

DM = 0. »

The absence of any conclusion here is

hopefully

a sufficient answer to

the claim above.
