In this paper I consider the relations between the lattice of topologies on a fixed space and the lattice of σ-algebras on that space. It is found that the intersection of these two lattices is the lattice of complete Boolean algebras, and that this lattice is anti-atomically generated. Some sufficient conditions for a topology to contain a maximal σ-algebra are noted.
