Recently several papers (11; 12; 13; 14) have been published in which it is shown that a Moore space (normal, in one case) is metrizable if it has the peripheral version (in the sense defined below) of a certain covering property that was known to imply metrizability of Moore spaces. Each of these metrization theorems can be proved more easily by using a slight variation of the appropriate standard proof to show that such a space is collectionwise normal and hence (2, Theorem 10) metrizable. But this approach, as well as that followed in (11 ; 12; 13 ; 14), obscures the point that, in Moore spaces and in more general settings, the peripheral versions of these covering properties imply the covering properties.
