Abstract: Examples of the following are given: (i) complex spaces whose Carathéodory distances are not inner; (ii) a taut complex space that is not complete hyperbolic; (iii) a complex space that is complete hyperbolic $\bmod \; \Delta$ but not taut $\bmod \; \Delta$ ; (iv) a bounded pseudoconvex domain that is not taut.
