    In the context of the finite element approach to the Stokes system, the authors are concerned with the dependence of the inf-sup constant on the type of the nonconforming quadrilateral element involved in a specific approach. They introduce a new nonconforming element for quadrilateral meshes and claim that the corresponding inf-sup constant is maximal. Actually, they prove that this constant is at most larger or equal than that corresponding to the well known element of \textit{R. Rannacher} and \textit{S. Turek} [Numer. Methods Partial Differ. Equations 8, No. 2, 97--111 (1992; Zbl 0742.76051)]. However, it seems that using the new element some computing time is saved.
