In [1] de Groot has introduced the notation “connectedly generated” (or eg) for those spaces in which the closed connected sets form a subbase for the topology. He pointed out that these are the semi-locally connected spaces of Whyburn. See [5; 6].

If X is cg, then, since X is closed, X is the union of a finite number of closed connected sets and, thus, has only a finite number of components. If p is any point in a eg space, and Nv is any neighbourhood of p, then the complement of Nv may be covered by a finite number of closed connected sets, none of which contain p.

In [1] and in [2] the concept of “screening” is introduced and shown to be usefully related to local connectedness and construction of compactifications for completely regular spaces. We review this concept in § 2.
