We also show that, for a distributive lattice $L$ and a monotone derivation $d$ of it, the set ${\rm Fix}_d(L)$ of all fixed points of $d$ is isomorphic to the lattice $L/\ker (d)$. We provide a counter example to the result (Theorem 4) proved in [3]. https://jas.shahroodut.ac.ir/article_2050_521538d527cfd40d77ed799e48ec18d6.pdf
