According to Li, Nicholson and Zan (2010), a group G is said to be morphic if, for every pair N 1 , N 2 of normal subgroups, each of the conditions G/N 1 ∼ = N 2 and G/N 2 ∼ = N 1 implies the other. Finite, homocyclic p-groups are morphic, and so is the nonabelian group of order p 3 and exponent p, for p an odd prime. It follows from results of An, Ding and Zhan (2011) on self dual groups that these are the only examples of finite, morphic p-groups. In this paper we obtain the same result under a weaker hypothesis.
