This paper answers a recent question concerning the relationship between two notions of paracompactness for bitopological spaces. Romaguera and Marin defined pairwise paracompactness in terms of pair open covers, motivated by a characterization of paracompactness due to Junnila. On the other hand, Raghavan and Reilly defined a bitopological space (X, τ, σ) to be δ-pairwise paracompact if and only if every τ open (σ open) cover of X admits a τ V σ open refinement which is τ V σ locally finite. It is shown that pairwise paracompactness implies δ-pairwise paracompactness, and that the converse is false.
