Let $S_n^r(\Omega)$ be the spline space of degree n and smoothness r with respect to $\Omega$ where $\Omega$ is a triangulation of a planner polygonal domain. Dimensions of $S_n^r(\Omega)$ over the so-called unconstricted triangulation were given by Farin in [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 192(2006), 320-327]. In this paper, a counter example is given to show that the condition used in the main result in Farins paper is not correct, and then an improved necessary and sufficient condition is presented.
