In his fundamental paper (3), Thorn proved, among other things, that a mod-2 homology class of an n-dimensional, closed, compact, C∞ manifold, which has dimension n/2, can be realised by a submanifold, (see (3), Théorème II. 1 and Corollaire 11.13).

In this note we examine the question of realisability of mod-2 homology classes of the next higher dimension.
