  Thangaraj and Balasubramanian introduced the so-called somewhat fuzzy
semicontinuous and somewhat fuzzy semiopen functions. Two years later, the same
authors defined two other types of functions called somewhat fuzzy continuous
and somewhat fuzzy open without indicating connections between them. At first
glance, we may easily conclude (from their definitions) that every somewhat
fuzzy continuous (resp. open) function is somewhat fuzzy semicontinuous (resp.
semiopen) but not conversely. In this note, we show that they are equivalent.
We further prove that somewhat fuzzy continuous functions are weaker than fuzzy
semicontinuous functions.
