Abstract
It is known that the reduced equations for an axially symmetric homogeneous ellipsoid that rolls without slipping on the plane possess a smooth invariant measure. We show that such an invariant measure does not exist in the case when all of the semi-axes of the ellipsoid have different length.
Keywords: nonholonomic mechanical systems, invariant volume forms, symmetries, reduction
