Following E. H. Feller [l], a ring R is called a duo ring if every one-sided ideal of R is a two-sided ideal.

In the first part of this paper, we give some properties of duo rings and we show that the set of the nilpotent elements of a duo ring R is an ideal, the intersection of the completely prime ideals of R.

It is easy to see that every duo ring is a subdirect sum of subdirectly irreducible duo rings. We give in the second part of this paper a characterization of the subdirectly irreducible duo rings. This characterization is quite similar to the characterization of the subdirectly irreducible commutative rings, due to N. H. McCoy [2], whose methods we use.
