Abstract: We discuss a non--commutative integration calculus arising in the mathematical description of anomalies in fermion--Yang--Mills systems. We consider the differential complex of forms

u_{0} c c r e p s u_{1} c d o t s c c r e p s u_{n}

with

e p s

a grading operator on a Hilbert space

c H

and

u_{i}

bounded operators on

c H

which naturally contains the compactly supported de Rham forms on

R^{d}

(i.e.

e p s

is the sign of the free Dirac operator on

R^{d}

and

c H

a

L^{2}

--space on

R^{d}

). We present an elementary proof that the integral of

d

--forms

i n t_{R^{d}} r a c X_{0} d d X_{1} c d o t s d d X_{d}

for

X_{i} i n M a p (R^{d}; g l_{N})

, is equal, up to a constant, to the conditional Hilbert space trace of

G a m m a X_{0} c c r e p s X_{1} c d o t s c c r e p s X_{d}

where

G a m m a = 1

for

d

odd and

G a m m a = g a m m a_{d + 1}

(`

g a m m a_{5}

--matrix') a spin matrix anticommuting with

e p s

for

d

even. This result provides a natural generalization of integration of de Rham forms to the setting of Connes' non--commutative geometry which involves the ordinary Hilbert space trace rather than the Dixmier trace.
