Abstract: Sufficient conditions on a space are given which guarantee that the $K$-theory ring and the ordinary cohomology ring with coefficients over a principal ideal domain are invariants of, respectively, the adic genus and the SNT set. An independent proof of Notbohm's theorem on the classification of the adic genus of $B{S}^3$ by $KO$-theory $lambda$-rings is given. An immediate consequence of these results about adic genus is that the power series ring $mathbfZlbracklbrackxbrackbrack$ admits uncountably many pairwise non-isomorphic $lambda$-ring structures.
