It is very well known that any two bases of a finitary matroid (see [2] for definitions) have the same cardinality. As Dlab has shown in [1], the same does not hold for arbitrary transitive exchange spaces; indeed, since the examples Dlab constructs in [1] are matroids, it does not even hold for arbitrary matroids. Nevertheless with the aid of the generalized continuum hypothesis (G. C.H.) we are able to prove the result for B-matroids.
