If U and V are toplogies on an abstract set x, then the triple (X, U, V) is a bitopologica space. Using the theorem of Priestley on the representation of distributive lattices, results of Dilworth concerning the normal completion of the lattice of bounded, continuous, realvalued functions on a topological space are extended to include the lattice of bounded, semi-continuous, real-valued functions on certain bitopological spaces. The distributivity of certain lattices is investigated, and the theorem of Funayama on distributive normal completions is generalized.
