The main purpose of this note is to give a characterization of almost continuous functions similar to that of approximately continuous functions ([3], §235, p. 312). The characterization of approximately continuous real functions has been used to show that each approximately continuous function is almost continuous ([4], §6). Thus combining these results we see that the classes of almost continuous, approximately continuous and continuous functions form a descending chain.
