[See also the preceding and the following review.] In this paper the author calculates a lot of distribution numbers of the Hamming (association) scheme. First he gives some trivial bounds, and using the existence of Orthogonal Arrays shows that these bounds are sometimes sharp. Then he computes \(vt_ 1(H(n,q))\) for all n and q. Under some extra assumptions he can sharpen the trivial bounds somewhat. By relating the distribution numbers of H(n,q) to those of H(n-1,q), he is able to show that \(vt_{\{1,2\}}(H(n,q))<q^{n-2}\cdot (n\geq q+2)\). The paper ends with some remarks on the cases \(n=3\) and \(q=2\) and a table of distribution numbers for H(4,2).
