contents The Cullis' determinant is a generalization of the ordinary determinant for rectangular matrices. It is defined as the alternating sum of maximal minors of given matrix. In this paper we express the Cullis' determinant of a matrix $X$ as the Pfaffian of the matrix obtained from $X$ by matrix multiplication and transposition. Relying on this result, we present an efficient polynomial-time algorithm for calculating the Cullis' determinant of given matrix.
