Abstract: In the present paper, we introduce and investigate the notion of a semi concurrent vector field on a Finsler manifold. We show that some special Finsler manifolds admitting such vector fields turn out to be Riemannian. We prove that Tachibana's characterization of Finsler manifolds admitting a concurrent vector field leads to Riemannain metrics. We give an answer to the question raised in cite{DWF}: "Is any n-dimensional Finsler manifold $(M,F)$, admitting a non-constant smooth function $f$ on $M$ such that $fracpartialfpartial{x}^{i}fracpartial{g}^{ij}partial{y}^k=0$, a Riemannian manifold?". Various examples for conic Finsler and Riemannian spaces that admit semi-concurrent vector field are presented. Finally, we conjectured that there is no regular Finsler non-Riemannian metric that admits a semi-concurrent vector field. In other words, a Finsler metric admitting a semi-concurrent vector field is necessarily either Riemannian or conic Finslerian.
