Abstract
We give a short proof of Urabe's criteria for the isochronicity of periodic al solutions of the equation t g(x) double overdot = 0. We show that apart from the harmonic oscillator there exists a large family of isochronous pot entials which must all be non-polynomial and not symmetric tan even functio n of the coordinate x).
