I am grateful to W. Taylor for pointing out that Lemma 2.3 of Neumann (1978), which claimed that a variety  and its finitary reduct
 and its finitary reduct  have the same finite algebras, is incorrect. This weakens several results of the paper: the lattice homomorphism of Lemma 3.1 is not complete, Theorem 4.1 is false, and the Mal'cev conditions claimed to be strong in 6.1, 6.2 and 7.1 are not strong. Taylor (1980) shows one cannot improve on this.
