Oopsie --

   In _Passage_ a sharp-eyed fan on the Baen Board inquired, "Shouldn't 
that last word on page 305 be "towhead", not "Beargrass"?

   Actually, it should not be there at all.  That sentence *in the 
galleys* was "Floating wrack either lodged on or broke loose dangerously 
from towheads, those accumulations of trees and logs at the top ends of 
the islands that from a distance resembled, the boatmen said, the unruly 
locks of a fair-haired boy, hence the name."

   I have no idea who stuck that erroneous (not to mention extraneous) 
word in there, but I will have it removed again come the paperback 
reprint.  If anyone else has good catches, send 'em along as usual, and 
I'll accumulate them against the day.

    bests, Lois.
