Birkhoff in [2] poses the following problem:

“Problem 73. Find necessary and sufficient conditions in order that the correspondence between the congruence relations and the (neutral) ideals of a lattice be one-one”.

This problem has been solved by Areškin [l] and Hashimoto [3]. Essentially the conditions reduce to the r e quirement that the lattice be a generalized Boolean algebra.
