• A report about Elizabeth Taylor's funeral in Los Angeles said it ended speculation that she might be buried in Wales, alongside her former husband Richard Burton. Although Burton and Taylor had made plans when they were married to be buried together in Pontrhydyfen in south Wales, he was buried in the Swiss village of Céligny, near Geneva. (Taylor laid to rest near Michael Jackson in LA's celebrity cemetery, 25 March, page 25).

• Bahrain is directly to the east of Saudi Arabia, rather than on its northern border, where we placed it in a report (Egypt gets behind reforms, but elsewhere the spirit of discontent simmers on, 21 March, page 7).

• A Pass Notes column on the European meadow tick suggested that if one was found on a dog it should be stunned with alcohol spray and then picked off with the fingers. Lyme Disease Action points out that this course of action, or indeed using any type of chemical on an attached tick, would increase the risk of disease passing to the victim. Official advice is to remove ticks with fine tweezers (Pass notes No 2,947, 24 March, page 3, G2).

• The artist Susan Collis was misnamed as Mary Collis in an article about a Dirt Season exhibition at the Wellcome Collection in London (Exhibition takes a filthy look at an age-old human obsession, 24 March, page 17).
