Abstract
It is pointed out that the cosmologies based on Lyra's manifold, with constant gauge-vector which have been studied in the literature, will either include a creation field and be equal to Hoyle's creation field cosmology, or contain a special vacuum fluid which together with the gauge-vector term may be considered as a cosmological term. In the latter case the solutions are equal to the general relativistic cosmologies with a cosmological term.
