Heredity of $\tau$-pseudocompactness S. Garc\'{\i}a-Ferreira and H. Ohta gave a construction that was intended to produce a $\tau$-pseudocompact space, which has a regular-closed zero set A and a regular-closed C-embedded set B such that neither A nor B is $\tau$-pseudocompact. We show that although their sets A, B are not regular-closed, there are at least two ways to make their construction work to give the desired example.
