The paper refers to the same topic as that of \textit{T. Tarnai} described above [Philos. Trans. R. Soc. Lond., Ser. A 343, No. 1667, 145-154 (1993). More precisely, the author investigates (generalizations of the known) Buckminsterfullerenes. These geometrical clusters can be considered as polyhedral structures with pentagonal and hexagonal faces, where each vertex is 3-valent and the combinatorial type is realizable by convex polyhedra. By combinations of several methods (such as combinatorial ones), representatives for various classes of geometrical clusters are constructed. Finally, interesting open questions are posed.
