R.H. Fox introduced the notion of congruence class of knots in [3], and he gave a necessary condition for congruence in terms of Alexander matrices and polynomials. S. Suzuki and the author [9] improved his condition and showed that there exist infinitely many congruence classes of knots modulo n, q if nφl and (n, #)Φ(2, 1), (2, 2). Further, they conjectured that all knots are congruent modulo 2, 1 and 2, 2. In this note we will generalize the notion of congruence class for links and give an alternate condition. And we will prove that two links are congruent modulo 2, 1 if and only if the two links are Z2link-homologous. (The number of congruence classes of ^.-component links modulo 2, 1 is just 2~".) As a corollary, we have that all knots are congruent modulo 2, 1.
