Abstract
In this note, we correct three non-trivial classes of Birkhoff–Pierce’s classification of two-dimensional associative lattice-ordered real algebras.

Notes
Birkhoff and Pierce (1956) only point out that \(A^+\) must contain \(e_2\), which is very vague.
Birkhoff and Pierce (1956) state that \(0\le \alpha<\beta <\pi /2\), which should be corrected.
Birkhoff and Pierce (1956) only list the first two possibilities of the Archimedean case, which should also be corrected.
