A remarkable theorem of Herstein [1, Theorem 2] of which we have made several uses states: If R is a semiprime ring of characteristic different from 2 and if U is both a Lie ideal and a subring of R then either U ⊂ Z (the centre of R) or U contains a nonzero ideal of R. In a recent paper [3] Herstein extends the above mentioned result significantly and has proved that if R is a semiprime ring of characteristic different from 2 and V is an additive subgroup of R such that [V, U] ⊂ V, where U is a Lie ideal of R, then either [V, U] = 0 or V ⊃ [M, R] ≠ 0 where M is an ideal of R. In this paper our object is to prove the following.
