The notion of a contraction mapping for a probabilistic metric space recently introduced by T. L. Hicks is compared with the notion previously introduced by V. L. Sehgal and A. T. Bharucha-Reid. By means of appropriate examples, it is shown that these two notions are independent. It is further shown that every Hick's contraction on a PM space (S,F,t) is an ordinary metric contraction with respect to a naturally defined metric on that space; and it is again pointed out that, in Menger...
