Abstract
It is shown that if a non-autonomous system of first-order ordinary differential equations is expressed in the form of the Hamilton equations in terms of two different sets of coordinates, and , then the determinant and the trace of any power of a certain matrix formed by the Poisson brackets of the with respect to , are constants of motion.
