Note: The proof of inequality (3.3) contains a slight mistake, but the inequality itself is true. In order to correct the proof, one should replace "Let ρ = dist(ζ, Γj)" at the bottom of page 126 with "Let ρ = dist(ζ, Γ1) - |ζ|". Then the statement "∂Ω ∩ B(0, ρ) is disjoint from Γ1" is true, and the rest proceeds as written, including the inequality (ρ − |ζ|)/(ρ + |ζ|) ≤ sin(3π/8). Solve this inequality for ρ to get ρ ≤ 29|ζ|, hence dist(ζ, Γ1) ≤ 30|ζ| as is claimed in (3.3).

Note: A part of the proof of Theorem 1.5, namely Case 1 in section 4.3, misses the possibility that the domain is the complement of the union of a line segment with two half-lines, all lying on the same line. Such a domain ("double Teichmüller ring") can be treated similarly to the ordinary Teichmüller ring; no new ideas are required. The missing details were later supplied in paper #47 listed above.
