1. Introduction. In [3] the author raised the question of the existence of a projective plane of "type (4, m)" with m = 3, n ^4. Using results of Baer and Paige [l; 4], we shall show that such a plane does not exist. On the other hand, we will show that a plane of type (4, m) does exist for every n = p2t, p a prime. For background material and definitions the reader is referred to [3] and the references given there; in particular, the notion of a planar ternary ring will be important in what follows. However, we briefly define the class of projective planes of type (4, m). Suppose it is a projective plane of (finite) order re and ® is a collineation group of ir, where & fixes (element-wise) mS3 points Qit i=l, 2, ■ ■ ■ , m, on a line Ko, a point Qo not on KQ, and the lines K0 and Ki = Q0Qi, *=1, 2, • • • , m. An ordinary point (line) is a point not on any of the lines Kj (a line not containing any of the points Qi), i = 0, 1, • ■ • , m; suppose furthermore that ® is transitive and regular on the ordinary points and ordinary lines. Then it is of type (4, m). It was shown in
