[For the entire collection see Zbl 0716.00007.] This paper is mainly a review article which reports on recent developments on the projective (spin) representations of reflection (Coxeter) groups. \textit{R. B. Howlett's} recent [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 38, 263-276 (1988; Zbl 0627.20019)] unified determination of the Schur multiplier of Coxeter groups is presented -- this replaced the previous ad hoc approach. It is then shown how the basic spin representation of orthogonal groups (or of Clifford algebras) can be used to construct various basic spin representations of reflection groups corresponding to the various non-equivalent factor sets. These results are applied to the Weyl groups of type \(A_ n\) (symmetric groups) and type \(B_ n\) ( hyperoctahedral groups).
