1. Introduction. In one of his papers on limits for the characteristic roots of a Matrix, Brauer (1) has stated a theorem, which connects the roots of a given square matrix A, with those of a matrix A* derived from A by a certain process. The proof of this theorem involves a continuity argument and in a recent paper on the construction of stochastic matrices Hazel Perfect (5) has given a proof which avoids considerations of continuity.
