We propose a hamiltonian formulation of the N = 2 supersymmetric KP type hi
erarchy recently studied by Krivonos and Sorin. We obtain a quadratic hamil
tonian structure which allows for several reductions of the KP type hierarc
hy. In particular, the third family of N = 2 KdV hierarchies is recovered.
We also give an easy construction of Wronskian solutions of the KP and KdV
type equations.
