space X of all constant sequences is isometric in a natural manner to X
and is the range of the norm 1 projection Q in J (X) defined by Q{x)
= (x0, x0, ...). Moreover, Q~1(0 ) = J (X). Hence
(1) J(X)=X@J(X).

[3]), and hence J (X) is not reflexive. This conclusion is based on the result
of Sanders [6 ] stating that a Banach space Z with a Schauder decomposi
tion (Zn) is reflexive iff the decomposition is shrinking and boundcdly
complete and all Zn are reflexive.
(2) Corollary 2 for more general James-Orliez spaces has been recently
announced by P.Y. Semenov [7]. (The results of the present paper were
obtained independently.)
The author wishes to thank Professor L. Drewnowski for his valuable
assistance and helpful suggestions.
