Professor Eliopoulous studied almost tangent structures on manifolds M2n in [1; 2]. An almost tangent structure F is a field of class C of linear operations on M2n such that at each point x in M2n, Fx maps the complexified tangent space into itself and that Fx is of rank n everywhere and satisfies that F2 = 0. In this note, we consider a (1,1) tensor field . on a Riemannian M2n which satisfies everywhere and is such that the rank of F is n everywhere. Such gives an almost tangent structure F on M2n.
