Let p and q be infinite cardinal numbers, p ≧ q, X a set of cardinality p, and BL(X, p, q) the Baer-Levi semigroup of type (p, q) on X. Subsemigroups of BL(X, p, q) are defined and called bounded Baer-Levi semigroups. These semigroups are right simple and are universal in the embedding sense for the class of idempotent-free, right cancellative semigroups S so that any two elements of S have a common right identity in S. Further properties of bounded Baer-Levi semigroups are given and the structure of their lattices of congruences is discussed.
