Recently, Eklund (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 47 (1975), 137–142) has shown that to each continuous function F on ∂pQ −⊲ {∂Ω × [0, T]} ∪ {Ω × (0)} there is a unique solution to the boundary value problem

where L is a linear second order parabolic operator in divergence form, Ω ⊂ Rn is a bounded domain with compact closure and ∂Ω denotes its boundary. In this note, it is shown that the existence theorem of Eklund remains valid for the following boundary problem
