The direct method of Lyapunov is utilized to obtain a variety of criteria for the nonexistence of certain types of positive solutions of a delay differential equation of even order. Previous results of Terry (Pacific J. Math. 52 (1974), 269–282) are seen to be corollaries of the more general results of this paper.
