[For the entire collection see Zbl 0731.00007.] The author extends the well-known notions of normal and regular varieties to the pseudovariety case. In particular, she shows that the normal (regular) closure of a non-normal (nonregular) pseudovariety \(V\) covers \(V\) and that the subpseudovariety lattice of the normal closure of a non- normal pseudo-variety \(V\) is isomorphic to the direct product of the subpseudovariety lattice of \(V\) and the two-element lattice. Theorem 2 claims that, assigning to any variety \(V\) of type \(\tau\) the class \(f(V)\) of all its finite algebras, we get a homomorphism from the lattice of all varieties of type \(\tau\) into the lattice of all pseudovarieties of type \(\tau\). However, this is not the case even for semigroups; indeed, if \(V\) is a variety of periodic nonabelian groups whose finite groups are abelian (such varieties exist) and \(W\) is the variety of all commutative semigroups, then it is easy to see that \(f(V\lor W)\neq f(V)\lor f(W)\).
