Episode Nine - S2-E2
Continuity mistake: The necklace James took from the coconut in Dr. Jacobi's office in the previous episode had a gold chain. When he gives it to Agent Cooper in this episode, it's on leather.
Continuity mistake: At One Eyed Jack's, when Agent Cooper and Jacques are sitting and talking there are 2 glasses of beer on the table. In one shot Jacques finishes a glass. When he gets up, both glasses are full. (00:10:20 - 00:11:40)

Continuity mistake: At about 23:21, Dale Cooper is writing on a chalkboard that has the letters R and T on it, not circled. Moments later, at 23:30, the letters are circled, even though Cooper has not marked the board. (00:23:20)
Suggested correction: Actually, there is a cutaway shot to the two policemen, and when the shot changes back to Cooper (with the letters now circled, as you say), he does have the chalk in his hand and then circles the "J." I think it's implied he circled the R and T in the cutaway. There was enough time.
