In this note we generalise a result of D. Husemoller to certain bipolynomial Hopf algebras and are able to give Hopf algebra decompositions for these. As an easy consequence of our approach we give a simplified derivation of recent results of P. Hoffman on polynomial generators for these algebras; we also give explicit systems of “Borel generators” for a related family of quotient Hopf algebras considered by Hoffman.
