A concrete clone is a family of operations on a set, containing all projection operations and closed under all meaningful compositions. The abstract clones discussed here form an axiomatic version of the concrete notion. They stand in the same relation to concrete clones as that of groups to permutation groups. Roughly speaking, each representation of an abstract clone C is an algebra A, and the family of all these algebras A is a variety V. This correspondence is bijective between isomorphism types of clones C and equivalence classes of varieties V. In this context, surjective clone homomorphisms correspond to the embedding of one variety in another, and injective homomorphisms correspond to the formation of reduct varieties.
