A brief discussion is made about the relevance of surface terms in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of theories of gravity. These surface terms play an important role in the variation of the action integral. Then we point out inconsistencies of a recently proposed formulation of teleparallel theories of gravity with local Lorentz symmetry.
