To find a “ description of the structure of bands which is complete modulo semilattices ” (from page 25 of [1]) seems to be a very difficult problem. As far as the author is aware, the only class of bands (except for rectangular bands) for which this problem has been solved (see [4] and [3]) is the class of all bands satisfying a generalization of commutativity, namely the condition that efgh = egfh for all elements e, f, g and h.
