The lattice of varieties of bands was constructed in [1] by providing a simple system of invariants yielding a solution of the world problem for varieties of bands including a new system of inequivalent identities for these varieties. References [3] and [5] contain characterizations of varieties of bands determined by identities with up to three variables in terms of Green's relations and the functions figuring in a construction of a general band. In this construction, the band is expressed as a semilattice of rectangular bands and the multiplication is written in terms of functions among these rectangular band components and transformation semigroups on the corresponding left zero and right zero direct factors.
