It is proved that the variety of all 4‐Engel groups of exponent 4 is a maximal proper subvariety of the Burnside variety B 4 , and the consequences of this are discussed for the finite basis problem for varieties of groups of exponent 4. It is proved that, for r ⩾ 2, the 4‐Engel verbal subgroup of the r ‐generator Burnside group B ( r , 4) is irreducible as an F 2 GL( r , 2)‐module. It is observed that the variety of all 4‐Engel groups of exponent 4 is insoluble, but not minimal insoluble.
