A number of unsolved problems of primal algebra theory concern the existence of certain collections of dependent primal algebras. In [3] E. S. O'Keefe showed that any collection of pairwise non-isomorphic primal algebras of type {n} with n > 1 forms a primal cluster. Recently the author has discovered that if τ is any type containing at least two elements, one of which is > 1, then there are at least two non-isomorphic dependent primal algebras of type τ, except possibly in the case = {2, 0}; this result will appear later.
