Abstract: In this paper we will prove a maximum principle for the solutions of linear parabolic equation on complete non-compact manifolds with a time varying metric. We will prove the convergence of the Neumann Green function of the conjugate heat equation for the Ricci flow in $B_{k}imes(0,T)$ to the minimal fundamental solution of the conjugate heat equation as $koinfty$. We will prove the uniqueness of the fundamental solution under some exponential decay assumption on the fundamental solution. We will also give a detail proof of the convergence of the fundamental solutions of the conjugate heat equation for a sequence of pointed Ricci flow $(M_{k}imes(-alpha,0],x_k,g_k)$ to the fundamental solution of the limit manifold as $koinfty$ which was used without proof by Perelman in his proof of the pseudolocality theorem for Ricci flow.
