Extract

The literature of finite projective planes consists largely of general investigations, taking in as many as possible of these systems at once. However, the geometry in a specific finite plane may well be an amusing, and not entirely trivial, field of study on its own. Some papers (5, 9, 13) have in fact appeared on the geometry of the translation plane of order 9: but the Hughes plane of the same order has comparatively been neglected. The object of the present paper is to make a beginning with the study of this plane from a synthetic point of view.
