The paper under review contains two results on pseudo algebraically closed (PAC) fields and pseudo \({\mathcal S}\)-adically closed (P\({\mathcal S}\)C) fields. Let \({\mathcal S}\) be a finite set of finite and real local primes of a field \(K\) and let \(M\) be a field which contains \(K\). The first result states that, if \(M\) is PAC over \(K\), then it is PAC also over each non-empty \({\mathcal S}\)-open subset of \(K\). As a consequence, the author proves that, if \(K\) is a global field and \(M\) is PAC over \(K\), then \(M\) is PAC over each separable Hilbert subset of \(K\). As to the second result, the author uses some of the ideas in the paper \textit{W. D. Geyer} and \textit{M. Jarden} [P\({\mathcal S}\)C Galois extensions of Hilbertian fields, Math. Nachr. 236, 119-160 (2002; Zbl 1007.12003)] to prove that every subextension \(N\) of \(K_{\text{tot},{\mathcal S}}/K\) which is P\({\mathcal S}\)C has the \({\mathcal S}\)-density property (here \(K_{\text{tot},{\mathcal S}}\) denotes the largest Galois extension of \(K\) in which each \(\mathfrak p\in{\mathcal S}\) totally splits). The author remarks that this last result is also a consequence of a theorem of \textit{B. Heinemann} and \textit{A. Prestel} [Fields regularly closed with respect to finitely many valuations and orderings, Can. Math. Soc. Conf. Proc. 4, 297-336 (1984; Zbl 0555.12008)], but the proof is completely different.
