Recently several topologists have called attention to the uniform structures (in most cases, the coarsest ones) under which every continuous real function is uniformly continuous (let us call the structures the [coarsest] uc-structures), and some important results have been found which closely relate, explicitly or implicitly, to the uc-structures, such as in the vS of Hewitt (3) and in the e-complete space of Shirota (7). Under these circumstances it will be natural to pose, as Hitotumatu did (4), the problem: which are the uniform spaces with the uc-structures? In (1 ; 2), we characterized the metric spaces with such structures, and in this paper we shall give a solution to the problem in uniform spaces (§ 1), together with some of its applications to normal uniform spaces and to the products of metric spaces (§ 2). It is evident that every continuous real function on a uniform space is uniformly continuous if and only if the uniform structure of the space is finer than the uniform structure defined by all continuous real functions on the space.
