In this note we consider measures on a left coset space G/H, where G is a locally compact group and H is a closed subgroup. We assume the natural topology in G/H and we denote the generic element of this space by xH (x∈G). Every element t∈G defines a homeomorphism of G/H given by t(xH) = (tx)H. A. Weil showed that a Baire measure on G/H invariant under all these homeomorphisms can exist only if

Δ(ξ) = δ(ξ) for each ξ ∈ H,

where Δ(x), δ(ξ) denote the modular functions in G, H [6, pp. 42–45]. We shall devote our investigations to inherited measures on G/H (cf. [3] and the definition below) invariant under homeomorphisms belonging to a normal and closed subgroup T ⊂ G.
