Theorem A states that the finite groups in which all subnormal subgroups are S-permutable (PST-groups) are exactly those groups in which subnormal subgroups of defect 2 are S-permutable (T Ã -groups). The proof uses a characterization of finite PST-groups in [4], namely the PST-version of Theorem 3.1 (see Postscript). However, the hypothesis of this result was incorrectly stated: the inequality 1 c r < k should read 0 c r < k. Unfortunately, with the weaker hypothesis the result becomes false, as the following example shows:
