The purpose of the present note is to prove the following two theorems:
Theorem 1. Let Q be an equicharacteristic local domain with maximal ideal m. Let a be any ideal of Q. Then the intersection of all integrally closed m-primary ideals of Q which contain a is the integral closure ā of a.
Theorem 2. If Q is as above, and if S denotes the set of valuations on the field of fractions F of Q which are associated with Q, then the intersection of the valuation rings belonging to valuations in S is the integral closure of Q.
