    Let \(\theta_ n\) denote the group of integral automorphisms of the quadratic form \(f_ n=-\phi x^ 2_ 0+x^ 2_ 1+...+x^ 2_ n,\) where \(\phi =(\sqrt{5}+1)/2\) and let \(\Gamma_ n\) be the group generated by reflections from \(\theta_ n\). The author proves that the fundamental polygon of \(\Gamma_ n\) is finite for \(n\leq 7\) and infinite for \(n\geq 8\). FOr \(n\leq 7\) the author gives the explicit form of the corresponding fundamental polygon.
