Misprints by Apex

EIGHT of the Across and eight of the Down clues contain a misprint of one letter only in each occurring always in the definition part of the clue; their answers are to appear in the diagram correctly spelt. The other sixteen clues are correctly printed; their answers are to appear in the diagram with a misprint of one letter only in each. No unchecked letter in the diagram is to be misprinted; each twice-used letter is to appear as required by the correct form of at least one of the words to which it belongs. All indications such as anagrams, etc. in clues lead to correct forms of words required, not to misprinted forms.
