Constructions are made of a T 1 space which does not have a T 1 completion and of a quasi-uniform space which is complete, but not strongly complete. An example relating to a completion due to Popa is given. An alternate definition for Cauchy filter, called C-filter, is examined and a construction of a C-completion is given. We discuss quasi-pseudometrics over a Tikhonov semifield R Δ. Every topological space is quasi-pseudometrizable over a suitable R Δ. It is shown that if a quasi-pseudometric space over R Δ is complete, the corresponding quasi-uniform structure is C-complete. A general method for constructing compatible quasiuniform structures is given.
