Let R be a cOlllmutative ring and H R the ring of Hurwitz series over R. In this note, we consider sonle properties of rings, which are shared by Rand HR. In particular, we show that for the rings Rand H R, if either ring is (i) a Hennite ring, or (ii) a PF -ring in the sense that every finitely generated projective R-n10dule is free, then so is another. We also show that if R is a PS-ring in the sense that the socle Soc(RR)is projective and char(R) = 0, then H R is also a PS-ring.
