Recently L. Wen showed that if a C1 vector field (on a smooth compact manifold without boundary) is both structurally stable and topologically stable then it will satisfy Axiom A. The purpose of this note is to indicate how results from an earlier paper can be used to simplify somewhat Wen's argument.
