      Summary: In the Steiner triple system, \textit{R.C. Bose} [Ann. of Eugen. 9, 353--399 (1939; Zbl 0023.00102)] constructed the \(2\)-\((v, 3, 1)\) design for \(v = 6n+3\) and later on \textit{T. Skolem} [Math. Scand. 6, 273--280 (1958; Zbl 0105.25002)] constructed the same for \(v = 6n+1\). In the literature we found a pairwise balanced design (PBD) for \(v = 6n+5\). We also found the 2-fold triple system of the orders \(3n\) and \(3n+1\). In this paper, we construct a PBD for \(v = 6n+4\) and a 2-fold system of the order \(3n + 2\). The second construction completes the 2-fold system for all \(n \in N\).
