    In topological quantum dynamics several authors have encountered the existence of non-integral charge, which depend critically on holonomy [see, for example, \textit{M. F. Atiyah}, Vector bundles on algebraic varieties, Pap. Colloq., Bombay 1984, Stud. Math., Tata Inst. Fundam. Res. 11, 1-33 (1987; Zbl 0688.53027), \textit{P. Forgacs, Z. Horvath} and \textit{L. Palla}, Z. Phys. C 12, 359-360 (1982) and \textit{P. J. Braam}, J. Differ. Geom. 30, No. 2, 425-464 (1989; Zbl 0689.53028)]. The present work goes some way in clarifying and classifying the situation. A limit holonomy condition is stated for a connection on a principal \(SU(2)\)- bundle over a base space with a codimension two singular set. It is shown, that the condition is satisfied in dimension four for finite actions and the singularity can be classified in terms of holonomy. A codimension two singularity theorem is shown to hold in the absence of holonomy.
