  We revisit the notion of reduced spectra $sp_{\Cal {F}} (\phi)$ for bounded
measurable functions $\phi \in L^{\infty} (J,\Bbb{X})$, ${\Cal {F}}\subset
L^1_{loc}(J,\Bbb{X})$. We show that it can not be obtained via Carleman spectra
unless $\phi\in BUC(J,\Bbb{X})$ and ${\Cal {F}} \subset BUC(J,\Bbb{X})$. In
section 3, we give two examples which seem to be of independent interest for
spectral theory. In section 4, we prove a spectral criteria for bounded mild
solutions of evolution equation (*) $\frac{d u(t)}{dt}= A u(t) + \phi (t) $,
$u(0)=x\in \Bbb{X}$, $t\in {J}$, where
  $A$ is a closed linear operator on $\Bbb{X}$ and $\phi\in L^{\infty} ({J},
\Bbb{X})$ where $ {J} \in\{\r_+,\r\}$.
