J-34 : In Appendix 1, you will find three matrices that multiply together to form \Phi(t,0). In the leftmost matrix, the five appearances of \sqrt{1-a_3^2 dn^2} should be \sqrt{1-a_1^2 dn^2}. And the correct rightmost matrix should be the transpose of what is shown. In Appendix 2, you will find three matrices that multiply together to form \Phi(t,0). The correct rightmost matrix should be the transpose of what is shown.
J-24 : The leading coefficient in equation (14) should be squared. That is, it should read like “(trace(C)-3)^2.”
