Evidence is presented which suggests that the following assertions about a variety ⊻ of groups may be equivalent:

(a) ⊻ is locally finite,

(b) all ⊻-groups satisfying the maximal condition for normal subgroups are finite, and

(c) all ⊻-groups satisfying the minimal condition for normal subgroups are finite.
