In this paper we provide a brief introduction to the conti-nuity of approximate point spectrum on the algebra B(X), using basicproperties of Fredholm operators and the SVEP condition. Also, we givean example showing that in general it not holds that if the spectrum iscontinuous an operator T, then for each λ ∈ σs−F (T)|ρ±s−F (T) and ∈ > 0, the ball B(λ, ∈) contains a component of σs−F (T), contrary towhat has been announced in [J. B. Conway and B. B. Morrel, Opera-tors that are points of spectral continuity II, Integral Equations OperatorTheory 4 (1981), 459–503] page 462.
