Let t, m > 2 and p > 2 be positive integers and denote by N(t, m, p) the largest integer for which there exists a t-uniform hypergraph with N (not necessarily distinct) edges and having no independent set of edges of size m and no vertex of degree exceeding p. In this paper we complete the determination of N(t, m, 3) and obtain some new bounds on N(t, 2, p).
