FOREWORD

These Proceedings contain papers based on lectures given at the Fourth International Conference on Universal Algebra and Lattice Theory held January 11-22, 1982 in Puebla, Mexico.

This volume offers the

reader a good sample of the recent advances and current trends in this active field. We would like to thank the authors for contributing very high quality papers and the referees for their careful job on each paper. We would also like to acknowledge the support of the Instituto de Mathematicas de la Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico and the Instituto de Ciencias de la Universidad Autonoma de Puebla. to thank the organizing committee:

We wish

Bernhard Banachewski, Octavio C.

Garcia, Ralph McKenzie, George McNulty, Don Pigozzi, and Walter Taylor, and the local organizing committee: Cardenas, Octavio C.

Raymundo Bautista, Humberto

Emilio Lluis, and Jose Antonio de la Perra.
