Stone lattices can be considered as forming a category of abstract algebras and thus there is a forgetful functor from this category to the category of distributive lattices with zero and unit. In this note we consider Stone lattices in this light (cf. [3], [4]) and describe an adjoint to the forgetful functor. The Stone extension of a distributive lattice with zero unit which we obtain differs markedly from the one given in [1].
