Abstract: Let

A (K)

be the algebra of continuous functions on a compact set

K s u b s e t m a t h b b C

which are analytic on the interior of

K

, and

R (K)

the closure (with the uniform convergence on

K

) of the functions that are analytic on a neighborhood of

K

. A counterexample of a question made by A. O'Farrell about the equality of the algebras

R (K)

and

A (K)

when

K = (K_{1} i m e s [0, 1]) c u p ([0, 1] i m e s K_{2}) s u b s e t e q m a t h b b C

, with

K_{1}

and

K_{2}

compact subsets of

[0, 1]

, is given. Also, the equality is proved with the assumption that

K_{1}

has no interior.
