One of the most frequently referenced monographs on power series rings, “Power Series over Commutative Rings” by James W. Brewer, states in Theorem 21 that if M is a non-SFT maximal ideal of a commutative ring R   with identity, then there exists an infinite ascending chain of prime ideals in the power series ring R〚X〛$R〚X〛$, Q₀⊊Q₁⊊⋯⊊Q_n⊊⋯$Q_0⊊Q_1⊊\cdots ⊊Q_n⊊\cdots$ such that Q_n∩R=M$Q_n\cap R=M$ for each n  . Moreover, the height of 878f0369" title="Click to view the MathML source">M〚X〛$M〚X〛$ is infinite. In this paper, we show that the above theorem is false by presenting two counter examples. The first counter example shows that the height of 878f0369" title="Click to view the MathML source">M〚X〛$M〚X〛$ can be zero (and hence there is no chain Q₀⊊Q₁⊊⋯⊊Q_n⊊⋯$Q_0⊊Q_1⊊\cdots ⊊Q_n⊊\cdots$ of prime ideals in R〚X〛$R〚X〛$ satisfying Q_n∩R=M$Q_n\cap R=M$ for each n). In this example, the ring R   is one-dimensional. In the second counter example, we prove that even if the height of 878f0369" title="Click to view the MathML source">M〚X〛$M〚X〛$ is uncountably infinite, there may be no infinite chain {Q_n}$\{Q_n\}$ of prime ideals in R〚X〛$R〚X〛$ satisfying Q_n∩R=M$Q_n\cap R=M$ for each n.
