      Let \(M\subset {\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}\) be a hypersurface which is locally equivalent to the hyperquadric \(x_ 0=\sum^{k}_{j=1}x_ j^ 3- \sum^{n}_{j=k+1}x_ j^ 2,\) \(n\leq 2k\). These hypersurfaces are classified for \(k=n-2\) up to affine transformations of \({\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}\). There are only finitely many affine classes if \(n\leq 6\), while for \(n\geq 7\) there exists a family of classes depending on a continuous parameter. The results are formulated in terms of the associated tube hypersurfaces \(M+i{\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}\subset {\mathbb{C}}^{n+1}.\) [For \(k=n\) see \textit{J. Dadok} and \textit{P. Yang}, Am. J.
