    This paper is the last one in a series of three papers [for the others see the preceding reviews] published by this author. It deals with the distribution numbers of the Johnson (association) schemes. The first section gives upper and lower bounds for some specific distribution numbers \((vt_ I\) where \(I=\{1,2,...,t\}\) or \(I=\{t+1,...,k\}).\) In section 2 the existence of some Steiner systems shows that the bounds of section 1 are sometimes sharp. Section 3 gives a proof (apart from some minor errors in the definition of \(N_ a\), \(N_ b\), \(N_ c\), \(M_ a\) and \(M_ b)\) of the fact that \(vt_ I=q+1\) for \(n=qk+r\), \(1\leq r\leq k\), \(q\geq 2\) and \(I=\{2,3,...,k\}\).
