It is interesting to superimpose the Pauli-Villars regularization on the lattice regularization. We illustrate how this scheme works by evaluating the axial anomaly in a simple lattice fermion model, the Pauli-Villars Lagrangian with a gauge-noninvariant Wilson term. The gauge noninvariance of the axial anomaly, caused by the Wilson term, is remedied by a compensation among Pauli-Villars regulators in the continuum limit. A subtlety in the Frolov-Slavnov scheme for an {ital odd} number of chiral fermions in an anomaly-free complex gauge representation, which requires an infinite number of regulators, is briefly mentioned. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
