Let T(n) be the number of topologies on a set with n-element. It is an old and difficultproblem to determine this number. Many authors attacked this problem and so far determined this number T(n) for small value n. Recently, M. Erne pronounced that he determined thisnumber T(n) for all n^Yi, by using a new reduction formula [4]. In this paper, we will define a topological invariant which relates to the determination of T{n), investigate its property and make some computations in connection with its invariant rather than intend to determine T{n). If X is a finitetopological space with n-element, then X is determined by the minimal open set Ux containing each of its point x. If UxQUy holds, then we define the relation < by x<y on X. This relation ^ is reflexive and transitive and so (X, <) is a quasi ordered set. Conversely, with a given quasi ordered set (X, <), if we define Ux by Ux={y\y<x}, we can associate the finitetopological space with the minimal base {Ux \x<bX}. This gives a one to one correspondence between all topologies on X and all quasi orders on X, and also induces a one to one correspondence between all To topologies on X and allpartial orders on X [1, p, 28], [2, p. 14], [7, p. 142]. It is also well known that there is a one to one correspondence between all topologies on X and all the labeled transitive digraphs with nelement [5]. Furthermore there is a one to one correspondence between all To topologies on a set with n-element, all finitedistributive lattices L of rank n, all the labeled transitive acyclic digraphs with n-element [5], [11]. Let T0(n) denote the number of all To topologies on a set with n-element. J.W. Evance, F. Harary and M.S. Lynn proved that
