We give an example of a centrally symmetric 5-polytope which is linearly stable though its vertices do not form a subset of the vertices of a 5-cube. This example contradicts the “only if” part of the classification theorem on linearly stable poly topes stated by P. McMullen [2]. Moreover the example gives a 5-polytope, the vertices of which form a subset of a 5-cube while its dual does not possess the same property.
