A lemma is obtained which guarantees that non-expansive mappings on contractive spaces have fixed points. An example shows that Schauders's fixed point theorem cannot be extended to contractive spaces, but a theorem for contractive spaces, analogous to a result of B. N. Sadovskii on convex spaces, is derived from the lemma. Finally, some local results for ε-chainable contractive spaces are given.
