The algebraic topology aspect of the global pure gauge anomaly calculation is investigated. In particular, the use of a cohomology sequence clarifies the method initiated by Witten (Nucl. Phys. 223, 422, 433 (1983)) and Elitzur and Nair (Nucl. Phys. B 243, 205 (1984)). Examples in SU(N), Sp(N), and SO(N) are discussed.
