G. Lallement [4] has shown that the lattice of congruences, Λ(S), on a completely 0-simple semigroup S is semimodular, thus improving G. B. Preston's result [5] that such a lattice satisfies the Jordan-Dedekind chain condition. More recently, J. M. Howie [2] has given a new and more simple proof of Lallement's result using work due to Tamura [9]. The purpose of this note is to extend the semimodularity result to primitive regular semigroups, to establish a theorem relating certain congruence and quotient lattices, and to provide a theorem for congruences on any regular semigroup.
