We  indicate how a Hopf bifurcation theorem for retarded functional differential
equations  can be proved correctly, following an approach that is described, but
not carried out properly  in the literature. Then we  state and prove a Hopf bifurcation
theorem for general semiflows  in Banach spaces, using  different methods.
The general statement includes the case of  retarded functional differential equations.
