A characterization has previously been given for linear transformations in Hilbert space whose first N + 1 powers are partial isometries. An analogous characterization is now obtained for transformations whose first N+ 1 powers have closed ranges. A hypothesis (that transformations have no isometric part) is found to be unnecessary in previous work.
