It is shown that a topological space has a unique compatible quasi-uniformity if its topology is finite. Examples are given to show the converse is false for T1 and for normal second countable spaces. Two sufficient conditions are given for a topological space to have a compatible quasi-uniformity strictly finer than the associated Császár-Pervin quasi-uniformity. These conditions are used to show that a Hausdorff, semi-regular or first countable T1 space has a unique compatible quasi-uniformity if and only if its topology is finite. Császár and Pervin described, in quite different ways, quasi-uniformities which induce a given topology. It is shown that, for a given topological space, Császár and Pervin described the same quasi-uniformity.
