Connexions are sought between the subvarieties of a variety U of groups and the subvarieties of the variety of all groups which are central extensions by groups in U, in the case when U has the form . Here , is the variety of abelian groups of exponent dividing r and Bis a variety of soluble groups of finite exponent.
