Abstract. In this paper, we answer the question: What are the greatest value $p$ and the least value $q$, such that the double inequality $H_{p}(a,b)<I(a,b)<H_{q}(a,b)$ holds for all $a, b>0$ with $a\neq b$? Here, $H_{p}(a,b)$ and $I(a,b)$ denote the $p$-th generalized Heronian mean and identric mean of two positive numbers $a$ and $b$, respectively.
