Utumi has shown [3, Claim 5.1] that for a certain class of rings the associated maximal rings of right quotients are isomorphic to the endomorphism rings of modules over division rings. We shall prove a generalization of this theorem and then show how it is obtained as a corollary. The following proofs do not depend on Utumi's paper; instead, they make extensive use of results proved in [1]. The terminology and notations employed here are the same as in [1].

I wish to thank Dr. B. Banaschewski for his suggestions and helpful criticism.

LEMMA: If J is a left ideal with zero left annihilator in a ring R then a maximal ring of right quotients of R is also a maximal ring of right quotients of J.
