New characterizations of weakly-continuous and θ-continuous functions are presented, and θ-continuity is applied to characterize H(i) spaces; a recent characterization of closed graph functions is utilized to characterize H-closed spaces. Noiri has shown that a function λ which is almost-continuous in the sense of Husain is weakly-continuous if cl(λ−1(W)) ⊂ λ−1(cl(W)) for all open W. It is established here that almost-continuity is superfluous in this statement.
