contents The proper quasivariety BCA of Bochvar algebras, which serves as the equivalent algebraic semantics of Bochvar's external logic, was introduced by Finn and Grigolia in and extensively studied in a recent work by two of these authors. In this paper, we show that the algebraic category of Bochvar algebras is equivalent to a category whose objects are pairs consisting of a Boolean algebra and a meet-subsemilattice (with unit) of the same. Furthermore, we provide an axiomatisation of the variety $V(BCA) generated by Bochvar algebras. Finally, we axiomatise the join of Boolean algebras and semilattices within the lattice of subvarieties of V(BCA).
