Abstract
We describe a family of algebraic nonquadratic power series over an arbitrary finite field of characteristic 2, having a continued fraction expansion with all partial quotients of degree one. The main purpose is to point out a common origin with another analogous family in odd characteristic, previously studied by the author.
