Abstract: Extending Sparks's theorem, we determine the cardinality of the lattice of (C 1 , C 2) -clonoids of Boolean functions for certain pairs (C 1 , C 2) of clones of essentially unary, linear, or 0 - or 1 -separating functions or semilattice operations. When such a (C 1 , C 2) -clonoid lattice is uncountable, the proof is in most cases based on exhibiting a countably infinite family of functions with the property that distinct subsets thereof always generate distinct (C 1 , C 2) -clonoids. In the cases when the lattice is finite, we enumerate the corresponding (C 1 , C 2) -clonoids. We also provide a summary of the cardinalities of (C 1 , C 2) -clonoid lattices of Boolean functions.
