      In this paper, the authors extend the notion of index and coindex for free \(G\)-spaces \(X\), where \(X\) is a finitistic space, \(G = S^1\) with complex multiplication and \(G = S^3\) with quaternionic multiplication. A paracompact Hausdorff space \(X\) is called finitistic if every open cover of \(X\) has a finite dimensional open refinement. For instance, all finite dimensional paracompact spaces are finitistic. Some Borsuk-Ulam type results are also given. \par The paper contains too many typos, e.g. the `Steifel-Witney class'.
