Orthogonal diagonal latin squares of order n, ODLS(n), are orthogonal latin squares of order n with transversals on both the main diagonal and the back diagonal of each square. It has been proven that ODLS(n) exist for all n except n = 2, 3, 6, 10, 14, 15, 18 and 26, in which the first three are impossible. In this note an example of ODLS(14) is given.
