Consider the first order differential equation (1) , where pi, and τi, for i = 1,…,n, are positive constants. To find necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of the coefficients and the delays only, under which all solutions of (1) oscillate, is a problem of great importence. In a recent paper, Bowcock and Yu claimed that is a necessary and sufficient condition for all solutions of (1) to be oscillatory. In this paper a counterexample shows that the above result is not valid and the error in this paper is indicated.
