Summary:
Given a topological property (or a class) $\Cal P$, the class $\Cal P^*$ dual to $\Cal P$ (with respect to neighbourhood assignments) consists of spaces $X$ such that for any neighbourhood assignment $\{O_x:x\in X\}$ there is $Y\subset X$ with $Y\in \Cal P$ and $\bigcup\{O_x:x\in Y\}=X$. The spaces from $\Cal P^*$ are called {\it dually $\Cal P$\/}. We continue the study of this duality which constitutes a development of an idea of E. van Douwen used to define $D$-spaces. We prove a number of results on duals of some general classes of spaces establishing, in particular, that any generalized ordered space of countable extent is dually discrete.
