Abstract. In this paper, an example of an $N(k)$-quasi Einstein manifold with closed associated 1-form is given. Also we show that if a quasi Einstein manifold $(M_{1}^{n_{1}},g_{1})$ and an Einstein manifold $(M_{2}^{n_{2}},g_{2})$ satisfy a certain condition, then the Riemannian product manifold $(M^{n},g)=(M_{1}^{n_{1}}\times
M_{2}^{n_{2}},g_{1}+g_{2})$ is a quasi Einstein manifold. In particular, in $N(k)$-quasi Einstein case, we show that there exists a quasi Einstein product manifold $(M^{n},g)=(M_{1}^{n_{1}}\times
M_{2}^{n_{2}},g_{1}+g_{2})$ but not an $N(k)$-quasi Einstein manifold, which consists of an $N(k)$-quasi Einstein manifold $(M_{1}^{n_{1}},g_{1})$ and an Einstein manifold $(M_{2}^{n_{2}},g_{2})$ satisfying the certain condition. Finally we study an $N(k)$-quasi Einstein manifold satisfying the condition ${R(U,X)\cdot {G}}=0$.
