Recently, Dunham has given examples for 1-parameter and 2-parameter Chebyshev sets which are not suns. In this note 2-parameter sets with these properties are described.

When studying the old problem whether Chebyshev sets are always convex, Klee [10] introduced certain sets which were called suns by Efimov and Stechkin [7]. Recently, in two shorts notes Dunham [4, 5] has given examples of 1-parameter- and 2-parameter-sets which are Chebyshev sets but not suns (cf. also [3]). The examples refer to Chebyshev sets in containing an isolated point.
