      It is shown that the algebras of type \((2,1)\) satisfying the identities \[ x=(xx')x,\quad (xx')(y'y)=(y'y)(xx'),\quad (xy)z=x(yz'') \] are precisely the inverse semigroups under the usual operation of inversion. Variations on these identities are also considered, using computer tools. It is conjectured that no set of two identities suffices.
