contents The aim of this note is to prove that the index of the identity map on a quaternion space form of constant quaternion sectional curvature $c$ is zero, provided that $c<0$. As an immediate consequence, it is established that any compact quaternion space form of negative quaternion sectional curvature is stable and it is emphasized that, on the contrary (but in agreement with some known results), any quaternion projective space is unstable.
