Abstract
As was indicated to me by Prof. A. Wroński, the following problem was suggested by Prof. B. Jónsson: is every subvariety of the variety of a finite algebra generated by a finite algebra? In this paper we solve this problem in the negative by constructing a finite algebra that generates a variety having 2x 0 subvarieties.
