Several years ago Kelley (2) showed that if X is a metric continuum then S(X), the space of non-null, closed subsets of X, and C(X), the space of non-null, closed, connected subsets of X, with the Vietoris topology, are arcwise connected continua. He further showed that S(X) is acyclic. In this note we extend these results to non-metric continua.
