In this paper we will be concerned with the determinants of matrices whose elements are 0, 1 or —1, 1. Accordingly, let Sn,k be the set of n X n 0, 1 matrices with exactly k ones in each row and column; and let Hn be the set of n X n — 1, 1 matrices. Let J = Jn denote (as usual) the n X n matrix all of whose elements are one.
