The purpose of this paper is to provide a proof for a result announced in [3]. The result arose from a search for just-non-Cross varieties (recall that a Cross variety is one which can be generated by a finite group, and a just-non-Cross variety is a non-Cross variety every proper subvariety of which is Cross). For the motivation for this search, we refer the reader to [12]: for related results, see [1], [12], [13].
