3. In the version of the Appendices (valid from 16 October 2003) that was circulated with Notification to the Parties No. 2003/063 of 10 October 2003, on page 31, the annotation for Hippocampus spp. was unfortunately omitted.

4. Finally, the Secretariat would like to advise Parties that it has made some minor editorial changes to the Summary Report of the 49th meeting of the Standing Committee and that a revised version (Rev. 1) is available on the CITES website.
