In a recent paper Turnbull, discussing a rational method for the reduction of a singular matrix pencil to canonical form, has shown how the lowest row, or column, minimal index may be determined directly without reducing the pencil to canonical form. It is the purpose of this note to show how all such indices may be determined, and at the same time to give conditions, somewhat simpler than the usual ones, for the equivalence of two matrix pencils.
